I am currently working on my Master's Thesis, but I procrastinate by reading all the books I can! In the meantime, I have a good job with fun people.

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe
By CS Lewis

Kid's book, of course, but I had to reread the series! Didn't like the idea of who the white witch was- basing her on a tradition instead of the Bible- but good book anyway, of course. Loves the movie, glad it followed the book very closely.

What About Christian Rock?

What About Christian Rock?
By Dan Peters, Steve Peters and Cher Merrill
218p

Might have been relevant at it's time, I'll give it that much. But pretty out of date now. I guess they're right in quoting Loyd Boldman "The joke is, if you want something to be okay in Christian circles, just wait ten years, and suddenly it's okay because it's no longer new." I never even knew there was ever an issue with people being against Christian rock.

Wicked Forest

Wicked Forest
By V.C. Andrews
067103992X

Miguel is not discussed enough. Thatcher is kind of forgotten about so that the revelation about him turns out to not really matter. All around, not that shocking or anything.
And this is the last VC Andrews book I'll be reading. No, I didn't finish all the books, I'm just tired of them. I'm done.
