Books, Books!

  Library Books... I figured I'd better be ready to talk Dickens with a certain someone!  So I went to the library and decided to start with these.  I have only read Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol so, Dickens here I come!

I am greatly anticipating them and hopefully they will make the plane ride and layovers speed by... although, I never seem to have problems enjoying flights... If we are next to a window then I probably won't read a word. Just a warning!

And now for some books I have recently acquired!

Caleb found a used set just like this while he was on his trip.

I just love used book stores and I can't wait to read these!

These are different then my other copies because they have extra notes

and versions of sections that Tolkien did not put in the finished draft.

I think these were compiled by his son, Christopher Tolkien.

I'm very excited to add this set to my personal library!

The Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

I have had this book a while, but was reading some more in it yesterday.

Because the stories are short I can read a couple and then pick it back up at a later date.

Well, written literature, but I can certainly tell that Poe had a disturbing life...

it comes out in his writing!

Anyway, there ya go!

I need to get busy on other things.

Here's another couple verses in Psalms I've been thinking on lately.

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!"

Psalm 84:11-12

(The italics were mine because that is the specific part I have been thinking about.  Also none of the pictures were mine, but I chose them because they look just like the books I currently have.)
