Exceedingly Mundane

I finished another library book yesterday, “A Thousand Tomorrows” by Karen Kingsbury. I’ve read several of her books, and this one was a little different. Good, but different. Most of the books I’ve read of hers have been really good Christian fiction, about common people and common situations. This one was a really clean book, but not what I’d call Christian fiction, in that, it was not “preachy” in any way. In fact, it rarely even mentioned God or prayer or leading a Christian life. But, the characters were very good people, living life to the fullest and experiencing events that changed them. The basic storyline is about a bullrider on the professional rodeo circuit who falls for a female barrel racer, who (he comes to find out) has a life threatening disease. It follows their careers and relationship, and it was a very quick and easy read.

For the record, this makes #25 for the year, with a total of 9,140 pages read. Up next is a book by a new-to-me author, Jodi Picoult. I know she’s had several books on the bestseller list and her novels are popular book club choices, so I’m looking forward to reading this one (Plain Truth). 😀
