My other vote:

something just for fun. We've read all the other authors on the poll for school work. It's summer. I hope to not "work" as hard.

Something along the lines of _Five Quarters of an Orange_.

A fellow Catholic homeschooling mom said _Peace Like a River_ by Leif Enger is one of the best books she has ever read. She also enjoyed _Sea Glass_ by Anita Shreve.

I'll also throw out there _A Circle of Quiet_ by Madeleine L'Engle, though this one does not come with a personal recommend.

Looking forward to reading with some of my favorite ladies!

I second Peace Like a River. Loved it the first time through and would love to have a reason to pick it up again.

Okay.......the poll is officially closed   

Looks like the top choice is a book about or by Edith Stein.

And, the second choice is a title by Jane Austen.

Please give recommendations on books about or by Edith Stein, so we can have a poll on choosing a title. We will read her third, to give us inspration just before we start our new school year. WE need to keep in mind availablity.

I will soon start a poll for the Jane Austen titles, so we can narrow it down. ANY of her books will be great for fun summer reading, trust me, I know! I read them all one summer..........very pregnant!

Enjoying the Scent of Water, finally.........
