Reading 'Columbine' left me with a few more questions, but I feel like it was pretty through; I ended up reading it in a couple of hours. It's such a hard topic, and even harder now as a mom with a little one in school.<br /><br />Yes, for whatever a nightmare she was for the royal family, I am so glad he abdicated!Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-84315382753834468862018-04-09T03:55:23.101-05:002018-04-09T03:55:23.101-05:00Some really interesting looking subjects in amongs...Some really interesting looking subjects in amongst your haul this week.

My pastor loaned it to me and let me bring it home to read - it is tough to find at a low cost these days.<br /><br />I grabbed The Case for God because I am trying to give Armstrong another chance. I love works about Christianity and the history and the Bible, but have been disappointed and even a bit bored with some of her other work.<br /><br />As for the megaliths and any kind of these ancient worship sites, they are like candy to me! I've been to Stonehenge and inside the structure at Newgrange, and I so badly want to go to the lesser known sites and learn about them as well.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by!Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-48215965715842435322018-04-07T19:51:01.326-05:002018-04-07T19:51:01.326-05:00Faith of our Fathers looks great, I'd love to ...Faith of our Fathers looks great, I'd love to see accounts of Jesus from other cultures as well.

Most excellent list ...Happy Happy Birthday to you!<br /><br />Most excellent list - and isn't it great when you go into a bookshop with zero expectations and come out with heaps and heaps of treasure?! Heretic Queen and Camelot's Court were already on my TBR, but I added a few more. This slop drip is working out splendidly.<br /><br />And yes, Mom is about ready to have me stamped 'Certifiable' for the amount of books I have acquired lately. BUT, almost none have been purchased at full price and so many are even free/borrowed. I really AM trying to be responsible here. I am about 37% successful right now.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-74260421338915692662018-04-07T09:56:51.481-05:002018-04-07T09:56:51.481-05:00That's a *good* haul.
