Hmmm... maybe this should be in the book club forum. Not sure.

Anyway... I have some gift money to spend at Amazon, and I'm wanting something good (non-fiction, preferably) to read.

I'm considering The Year and Our Children, Lessons at Blackberry Inn (though I'm hesitant with that one because of some anti-Catholic sentiment) or perhaps Keeping House: The Litany of Everyday Life. ETA: Or maybe something by Kimberly Hahn?

So no real theme here- just looking for something fun and inspiring. Curious as to what's on your wish list?

what's on my list.. tons of stuff.. fiction, non, etc etc etc.

Actually I'd gone and reread that thread the other day on Gatto's "Weapons of Mass Instruction" and thought that might be interesting.

Let's see also on my list in no particular order..

The Temperament God Gave You: The Classic Key to Knowing Yourself, Getting Along with Others, and Growing Closer to the Lord by Art Bennett

Swear to God: The Promise and Power of the Sacraments by Scott Hahn

Graced and Gifted: Biblical Wisdom for the Homemaker's Heart by Kimberly Hahn

Chosen and Cherished: Biblical Wisdom for Your Marriage by Kimberly Hahn

The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose by Matthew Kelly

I have over 300 items on my Amazon Wish List - I get GC for there every month from a few different survey sites so I put everything on there.

Right now I have everything used with CHC for K-8th that Amazon sells, along with the various early fiction {Curious George, Magic School Bus} items we still need.

Sarah, I didn't notice at first that you're looking for books....I was going to mention the CD, "Priests"...I borrowed it from the library and just love it. I think it's the first item on my Amazon wishlist...I'm hoping it will be a birthday "surprise"! It's definitely inspiring and would lift anyone's spirits, especially during these longggg winter days!
