Book #16 Organizing for Life: Declutter Your Mind to Declutter Your World by Sandra Felton
3 days ago
Listened to the unabridged audio of this book. It was 2 1/2 hours long. I found the book to be insightful if you want to understand the mind behind your clutter or procrastination when it comes to your housework; however I thought the time spent delving into topics such as depression were a little out of place, but the author does explain why she covered the topic in the book. This book was more like a primer than a strategy, step by step book. But, I did enjoy it.

Book #15 - Cape Refuge by Terri Blackstock

Christian fiction. Over the last few years I’ve read mostly motivational, self help type books so I thought I’d take a detour into the land of fiction. I forgot how wrapped up in a good fiction book I could get. This is apparently the first book of 4 in this series. Picked up all 4 books on paperbackswap.com; so I figured this would be a good way to see what I was getting without a lot of investment. I do say that the book was pretty good, a decent read; however some of the plot was a little predictable. It’s about 2 girls whose parents run a sort of halfway house for ex-cons and drifters. The parents are found murdered and everyone is a suspect including one of the daughter’s husband.
I’ve got 5 books to go in about 7 weeks – I’ve got to get moving.
This was my first time reading Ward’s novels and I read them quickly, one right after another. While it took a few pages to get involved with the characters, I definitely started to feel their pain and was interested in finding out what happens next.
I recommend Ward’s novel and am about to start on another one: Forgive Me.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Good book! Very fast and easy read; however, it is a very sad story. I wonder if the movie is good – has anyone seen it?
