I wanted to continue to encourage all of you out there to take part in the Catholic Summer Reading Program hosted by Aquinas and More. I went to my local Catholic bookstore to purchase my long-awaited favorite on the list, Those Terrible Middle Ages.
Well, they had sold out, so I ended up buying a book that is on the top 64 finalist list from the reading program--Lay Siege to Heaven, a novel about Saint Catherine of Siena. It looks excellent, and I will update you as I read it.
Another "must-have" book on the list is Grunt Padre, a book about a Marine Corps chaplain during the Vietnam War. DH, who really loves to read about the Vietnam era, would really like this book, I think.
So, check out the Summer Reading Program and get involved!

A number of those books look quite interesting. I'm wondering if the
ReplyDeleteBible is on the approved summer reading program ? :)
Well, its probably on their list of "100 books every parish should have"!
ReplyDeleteWe don't approve of reading the Bible during the summer. It tends to weigh too much in your luggage. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ian! Some of those books (on the 64 book list, anyway) are quite big!
