What's ruined? I'm actually still laughing. 
I am so anxious for Flame to get here. I'm also reading The Chronicles of Narnia. When I was a kid, I read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and The Silver Chair. So now, I'm reading the whole series, in the order Lewis meant it to be in. I'm really excited, it's quite good. I'm working with a 9-year-old who is also reading them and even though that's slightly weird, it gives us a lot to talk about! lol
ETA: WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! My book just arrived!

In junior high and high school, I read books by Janette Oke that were set in the pioneering days and centered around Marty, Clark and their children. One day I hope to read them all over again from start to finish.

Those were some of the first "adult" (outside of the children's section) books that I read! I love them and to this day they are still some of my favorites!
Have you seen the Hallmark movies based on the books? The first one had Katherine Heigl in it!

I've never seen them, but I saw a commercial recently for them. One day I hope to actually watch them.

The Chronicles of narnia is a great read!!!! Just an aside, husband and I have advance tickets to see Prince Caspian next month  AND if you like Chronicles of Narnis be sure to read The Lord of the Rings if you havent already. it has similar themes. Tolkien and Lewis were both in the same literary society and often traded ideas for stories and character development.

Madeline L'Engle's books also have a lovely blend of religion and philosophy worked into them. She's a cool Lady.

Oh, I adore Madeline L'Engle! The Wrinkle In Time quadrilogy (is that what you call a set of 4 books?) is the best. A lot of people don't even know about the 4th one, Many Waters.
The Narnia books are incredible. I read Prince Caspian with the kids in my ESOL class and they loved it! Their grade is going to go see the movie when it comes out next month. The first book and the last are some of the best works in Christian literature.
