Upon checking my Kindle account I discovered that I had
about I have about 450 books on my device.
That seems a bit over the top to me J So, I decided to do three things: organize the books I have alphabetically,
stop obtaining books, begin with A and read through as many as I could this
summer. That’s what I did! After I alphabetized them (actually the app
did that) I looked through the As and Bs and chose the ones that I really
wanted to read. When I have read those I will move on to the next letter.
Now, as I blog about them this summer you should see that
the titles will appear in ABC order. I
am determined to stick to this plan, but we will see how disciplined I will be
at not obtaining new books or skipping ahead in the alphabet.
Here is the first of the books on my summer reading
list!
Asenath by
Anna Patricio
This book is the story of Asenath who married Joseph in the Bible. Little is said in
Scripture about this woman so Anna Patricio, the author, took the liberty to create her story.
The story begins when Asenath is a young child in her fishing
village on the Nile. Life changes quickly when Asenath is kidnapped by raiders
who hate Egypt.
Life is not easy but Asenath eventually winds up in a major
Egyptian town in a home where she meets Joseph.
At this point in the story you will begin to recognize some of the story
from the Biblical account of Joseph.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Each played a significant part in shaping
Asentath. It was a short book and part
of me really wished that the author had developed portions of the story a
little more.
Asenath is
a quick read but I couldn’t put it down.
So far this is my favorite book of the summer J
