Dappled Things

I have decided to take up Katrina’s Fall Into Reading 2009 challenge over at Callapidder Days even if I am a bit late to the game. Since I have missed the first two months of the challenge, my reading list will be kept a bit short. I really am excited, though, because I just finished The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and am starting her earlier book The House at Riverton.

Unfortunately, I have been putting a good bit of my time into getting my blog up and rolling and I have neglected The House at Riverton these past few weeks. So, in taking up this challenge, I am really killing two birds with one stone. I deplore that analogy, though. Perhaps I should say I am having my cake and eating it, too. It is a far better thing to be eating cake than to be killing birds. Don’t you agree? Well, unless the birds are edible. Then I could kill two birds with one stone and eat them, too! But really…

Onto my list of books!

• The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
• The Singing Sands by Josephine Tey
• The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
• Return to the Hiding Place by Hans Poley

I told you it would be short. The Hiding Place is a reread. I read it as a teenager, so it almost counts as a brand new book for me! I wanted to read it before I read Hans Poley’s account of being the first “guest” in the ten Boom household during World War II. I will try to keep you updated on my progress!
