Well, the guys got back from T4G today. Blair had 5 books in his duffel bag and an ESV Personal Size Bible. The rest of the books he shipped home via Fed Ex b/c they flew stand-by down there and didn't have any extra room to carry books back today. So I am drooling over the ones he brought home and I feel it's like Christmas anticipating the Fed Ex man (or woman) coming (hopefully tomorrow) with a box full of books!
Blair said he enjoyed Piper, MacArthur and R.C. Sproul very much. We haven't more than a couple moments to spend talking since he got back, but....I'm anxious to hear all the details!

I'm reading your recommendation "Team of Rivals". I've read about 15 pages so far. It's really good and I'm looking forward to reading it this summer. How long did it take you to read?
Shelley Fuge
Hey Shelley. Just wait until you are about 1/3 the way through. It is just riveting and it stays that way through the entire rest of the book. The first part is crucial to understanding the men who play out the rest of the book w/Lincoln.
It took me about 8 weeks. But if I'd read it in the summer and not had to do extensive reading for homeschooling, I think I could've done it in 3 weeks. After I got past the 2/3 mark, I just couldn't put it down and read the last 1/3 very fast. It did help that we were just finishing the end of the civil war unit at home for school. So I had a really big reason to finish.
Does this help or confuse you?
I am SO proud of you for attempting this!
Hugs!

Karen,
The books were great! We've got 2 matching stacks on our table right now. I need to pass my stack onto their rightful owner -- Shu Wong, who let me go in his place. Did Blair tell you we met?
