Lucky: that is absolutely awful. Just awful. I wonder if the bishop gives the vampire a blessing so that she might have eternal life, oh wait. Never mind.

Because you have given OTRTH your blessing (I, too...

Because you have given OTRTH your blessing (I, too, am not a fan of LDS literature), I figured I'd give it a whirl. But the VERY FIRST THING I SEE on the bookstore site is this black/white/red colored new release:

Angel Falling Softly
Two women—one a bishop's wife, the other a vampire—find the desperate courage to bet it all.

Lame (and copycat), lame (and retaining my distaste for LDS literature).

So- I'm curious jane, are you a reviewer? Why were you asked to review these books? I am trying to get my lds book published, would you be interested in reviewing it?
thanks.
Jen :)

Hallelujah! I've found other Work and the Glory virgins! Aaaah, kindred spirits...I'm not alone in the world after all :)

I'm glad to have just found your blog ... I have recently rediscovered how much I love to read and am hungry for anything that other people say is good. (And clean.) Thanks for the recs. I'll be adding these to my "must read" list. :)

(PS. I, too, have not read W&G for same reason your dad banned them. Do you think I should someday just to know what others are talking about? Just curious...)

2008-07-18T13:10:32.350-06:00

If someone writes a review for a book, and basically tells the whole story in one neat little synopsis... bleh. I have no desire to read it.

And hey! In your sidebar you have a pic of the painting I now own! "Nigel Confronts Mortality." Woot!

You're so considerate! (AND...since I don't purch...

2008-07-18T07:53:25.962-06:00

You're so considerate!

(AND...since I don't purchase books very much, and have been missing my Utah library LDS book selection...I just found out that my library (out here in the mission field) will order any book for me, EVEN MORMON BOOKS, and have them waiting for me when I get there. I'm heading over there right now!)

That should go on the Friday Of Good Report section, huh?

2008-07-17T23:40:08.207-06:00

Haven't read "Twilight" either.
I'm a convert. Go ahead you can be jealous. And I really do want to read that "Heaven" book after that review even though I don't read LDS fiction.

The work and the glory is so last season.

The real mormon question of "this" year is -have you read twilight?

Really, have you read it?

2008-07-17T13:16:25.129-06:00

thanks for the heads up on the books. I love to read and can't really get enough. However I did read W&G. I also read about vampires too although I believe the main character in Twilight is quite certainly mentally disturbed. You didn' mention anything like that so I will give it a whirl. thanks again.

So you aren't totally freaked out by my blog comment - I forgot I wasn't logged in to my blog name. (Tamara is the Blueberry Farmer's Wife's Mom - aka the garden maiden)

2008-07-17T11:49:34.872-06:00

I have been away for awhile. Not really away, just preoccupied with my garden and summer and well...life outside of my computer. But today I decided to check on my cyber friend cjane. And I didn't realize how much I missed you. It still surprises me that someone I have never met can light a little fire in my bosom reading the goings on in their life, but it shouldn't surprise me because if you can fall in love with a novelist you have never met, then why can't I be moved by a blogist I have never met.

Well..... that was a tangent wasn't it?

I too am a W and the G virgin as well. I fully intend to remain that way. I have a habit of either not finishing books....or if they do captivate me I can't put them down until they are fully devoured...and in the case of TW&TG...that would mean I wouldn't sleep for days. Nuff said.

Nice seeing ya again girlfriend. Might check back on Friday!

2008-07-17T11:48:12.200-06:00

I am a Work & the Glory virgin as well, and a Twilight virgin which seems absurd these days...

In order for me to really devour a book it has to catch my attention from the first page...it also has to make me think...or really stir up something inside of me...the last book that did that for me was "The Hiding Place" which was also about a real person.

I have come to the conclusion that I prefer real life stories...rather than ones about made up LDS families or vampires...

did I just say that? I'm ready to be rebuked.

Coke Newell is a really interesting person. I have heard him and his wife (and even their kids) speak numerous times at home school conventions. They are a pretty awesome family. Thanks for letting me know about his new book!

2008-07-16T23:57:20.985-06:00

I'm a I am a Work and the Glory virgin too!! (and I thought I was the ONLY one!)... my dad is a religion professor at the Y and he got so tired of people using W & G as gospel truth (over say actual real Church History) that it became banned in our house.

He has since removed the W & G ban from our lives... but I've been so involved in teenage Vampires lives (sad, but true) that I have yet to venture to W & G... (but sometimes I like that I can use that as my "I've Never..." at ward RS get to know you activities.

Thanks for the book reviews!

count me in on the short stories one. Think we can find these at Deseret Book? I'm not feeling like waiting.
