There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Susan's Blog

 I created my blog using Google Blogger in about an hour.  Google Blogger is free, but there are many other places on the web that will help you design your blog. susan_pic I've named my blog "Thinklings" in honor of the Inklings. As many of you know, we named our store Inklings after a group of writers who used to read their work to each other and discuss it in Oxford, England. The best-known members of the group were C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams.

  I am a bookseller. Therefore, the "voice" of the blog is primarily that of a bookseller, a purveyor of the written word.  But I am more than a bookseller.  I am a woman, a wife, mother, daughter, and grandma, as well, so in my blog you'll hear those voices pipe up sometimes.  I'll talk about books, movies, things I've overheard, ideas, quotes, culture, faith, and the arts.  I may have to tell you about my cute granddaughter occasionally, a virtual brag book, if you will.  Occasionally, I may introduce you to a "guest blogger" and I'll certainly share other blogs that I've found interesting.  You will be able to read my irregular postings and respond with your own comments, by going to http://justsomethinklings.blogspot.com/

 
Three Cups of Tea
Three Cups of Tea   By Greg Mortenson and David Relin
This is truly one of the most incredible and inspiring books I have read in a long time.  It will reaffirm three_cups_of_tea.gifwhat you already know about ecucation: that it can change lives, broaden one's understanding of the world and its cultures, and that there are some in the world who will indeed risk their lives in order to receive an education.  It also reinforces that one person acting on his or her beliefs really can make a difference in the world.  You will never forget the adventures and experiences of Greg Mortenson, an experienced climber who nearly loses his life in climbing K-2 in Pakistan, and how he shows his appreciation for the people of the remote village who nurse him back to health.  Make this book your next read!   Reviewed by Gayle Wingerter    $15.00
 
Gardens of Water

Gardens of Water

By Drew Alan
  
  A devastating earthquake near Istanbul disrupts the lives of two families, one Muslim and one Christian American.  Dealing with their losses very differently, the two families come to understand that though they are gardens_of_water.gifculturally different, it is possible to gain some understanding of each other when their lives intertwine in ways they never expected.  The writing is emotionally stunning as the family members each look for and long for their version of a perfect Heaven.    Remiscent of Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns - I love this book.  Great for bookclubs. New this month--It is a Book Sense pick for February..  $25.00        Reviewed by Susan Richmond
