The Scarlet Thread - Francine Rivers


I recently visited the new and improved Arlington Library off of Magnolia. Nathan was so excited he kept saying "book, Book" while taking out as many books as he possibly can. He didn't quite understand the idea of being quiet in the Library. I forgot that you can rent DVD's at the library for free (SCORE!) so I picked up 8 below and The Scarlet thread by Francine Rivers.
Quick history of my reading habit - I hate to read, other than the Bible. Don't do it for fun, will start and book and get disinterested and stop. When I was little I got punished for calling my sister a name and had to do book reports all summer long. Worst punishment imaginable.
Don't know what has changed but I LOVED this book. I read the whole book in less than a week, 450 pages. I could not put the book down, and stayed up late every night until my eyes burned to read it. I am excited about checking out another book, man how things change as we get older.
