Speak - Laurie Halse AndersonCritically acclaimed YA novel on teenage alienation. I wasn't disappointed. The narrative voice was pitched right; it's angsty for sure but what angst!
Bestselling series, featuring the only female detective agency in Botswana. Thought I'll pick it up. About to get into it, meant to be really fun.
The Institutes of the Christian Religion - John Calvin (ed.: Tony Lane)I didn't get to finish this abridged edition, borrowed from the library, but I enjoyed reading what I did. It's much more pastoral than I expected. This is one of the Christian classics of all-time.
Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God - Gordon FeeA superb treatment of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit for a popular audience by one of the best charismatic scholars of our time.
Christ-Centered Preaching - Bryan ChapellEarly birthday gift. I've read through it fairly quickly the first time, and liked it a lot and the thoughts it sparked. Looking forward to systematically working through it another time.
Please feel free to ask if you want to borrow something!

i also vote for anything and everything anyone ate on the faraway tree or in any of the lands they happened to find themselves in (another enid blyton creation) - remember the pop biscuits??!! :D and hot/cold goodies and toffee shocks and google buns. and slippery slide.. don't forget the slippery slide. and the squirrel that asked for the cushions back.
i think it's annoying how political correctness had to go and change the names of the kids. annoyed at that.
i'd forgotten all about pop biscuits! i also think the meal mrs beaver served up to peter, susan, edmund and lucy in the lion, the witch and the wardrobe deserves a mention.
A few years ago I bought a reprint of The mountain of adventure, on of the first Enid Blyton books I had read as a child, and on re-reading as an adult was struck by the food scenes, which I hardly noticed as a child.
