  1. Have you read Metaxas' book? A friend at church is reading it but he hasn't finished it. I would be interested to find out more about it from someone I know.

    I thought the link to the "house of shelves" was interesting; I reposted that one. I imagine my future home will be dominated by shelving--there are already three readers in our family and soon to be a fourth. But the fourth also eats books so maybe she (Thalia) will keep the number of books relatively low!

  2. I have not read Metaxas' book, and I am not planning to.

    Rose and Grace are avid readers as well. At times I'm having to tell Rose to put the book down. :-)
