i just got finished reading the keeper of the bees, by gene stratton-porter.

library summary:
set in post world war I times, the book follows Jamie Louis Macfarlane — a wounded serviceman who finds his way on a grand adventure that makes him a better man and brings hope and love back into his life. i thought it was a good read. there were some points where i got a little bored, i think since it’s over 500 pages, but i still enjoyed reading it. it had some strong christian themes throughout the book, and i liked all of the relationships that were formed during the story.

over the weekend, i read the road, by cormac mccarthy.here’s a brief library description:it is a novel set in an indefinite, futuristic, post-apocalyptic world, a father and his young son make their way through the ruins of a devastated American landscape, struggling to survive and preserve the last remnants of their own humanity. ****i liked this book. although disturbing at some parts. i like the story of the journey of the boy and father. it made me think of my relationships and how you’d do just about anything to protect the ones you love and keep them from harm.
