30 Day Book Challenge--Day 2: Which book have you read more than 3 times?


Shepherds Abiding, by Jan Karon. I LOVE reading Christmas books during the month of December, and Shepherds Abiding is one that I have read repeatedly! While it is part of the delightful Mitford Series, it can easily stand alone.

Shepherds Abiding, like the rest of the Mitford Series, is loaded with memorable characters, has a sweet story line, and is so well-written that you will feel as though you've been transported right into the charming town of Mitford.

Shepherds Abiding follows the small town rector, Father Tim, on his adventures during the advent season. The bookish pastor, who married late in life, sneaks around to spend every free moment working on a special Christmas gift for his beloved bride. For the first time in years, Father Tim attempts something new and creative, and in the process he learns about the power of redemption.

This is the kind of book I like to curl up with on a snowy afternoon. I will, however, leave you with a word of caution: Once you get a taste of Mitford, you will want to go back for more!
