The other day, the Tucson office staff got into a discussion of books we loved as children. A lot of the standard classics were mentioned, and we all reminisced fondly over A Cricket in Times Square, but it got me thinking of the books I loved that others might not have experienced. Over the years, I have never met anyone who has read, or even heard of, one of my favorite authors - Clare Bell. Since one of my favorite childhood series has recently been re-issued by Firebird books, I thought it would be nice to take a trip down memory lane and hopefully introduce some new readers to this author.

 Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love is, like many memoirs, the story of a traumatic event that spurred an exotic, introspective vacation. But, while the premise may be common, Gilbert's prose makes this a unique and gripping story.

 To compliment the First 50 on Rob Stennett's new The End is Now, I'm taking a look at Madeleine L'Engle's classic (and Newbery winner) A Wrinkle in Time. While the book isn't classified as Christian fiction, it has strong Christian overtones and remains popular among both secular and Christian readers.

The End is Now is the second novel by Rob Stennett, and in it he presents a unique take on apocalyptic fiction. The story centers around Goodland, Kansas, a small, rural town where the residents feel they have a higher calling - their town has been selected as God's test site for the rapture. Some in the town believe this fervently while others chalk it up to a local legend, but as the first chapter unfolds, it becomes clear that Goodland's time is nigh and things will never be the same again.

Anyone who reads or who has pre-teen kids in the US is likely quite familiar with Stephenie Meyer by now. I read her Twilight series earlier this year on the recommendation of my friend’s twelve-year-old daughter, so when The Host came out, my friend asked me to read it before her daughter did to gauge it's appropriateness since it's Meyer’s first book for adults.
