Title: A Wrinkle in Time
Author: Madeline L’Engle
Genre: fiction, science fiction
Form: paperback
Recommended: definitely
Thoughts: This is one of those books I subconsciously rejected reading for years because I am not normally a fan of science fiction. And then Renee presented it to me for my 28th birthday last year with the inscription, “For Pamela, 28, because you need this on your shelf and in your head.” She could not have been more correct. L’Engle is an excellent story teller, and the symbolism throughout the book is outstanding. In future years I plan to tackle the other four books in the series. If you have not yet read A Wrinkle in Time, you should.

Title: Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
Author: Madeline L’Engle
Genre: creative nonfiction
Form: paperback
Recommended: definitely
Thoughts: To L’Engle, art and faith are inseparable – and through this book she winds the two together in such a way that it is at once explanation of the creative process and devotional. To everyone who is an artist, this book will sing to your soul. If you want to understand an artist, this book will open up their world. This is one I will reread until it falls apart.
