Books I Read…
Individual blog posts about some books…
Engaging story of an English woman raising a hare and changing her life.
We talk a lot about hard work, pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, and native talent, but there’s more—availability of opportunities at the right place and time. Engaging, enlightening stories and writing.
The workings of the work of art. Fascinating and fun!
The questions she explores are so profound. And she does not claim to answer the questions. She “reaches the end of the writing process.” She continues to live in the questions. As do we all.
A dark and brilliant gem!
Poems you’ll love!
A book of joy—the joy of God’s love.
What a great novel! It reminds me a little bit of Catcher in the Rye but the main character is an Iranian-American drug and alcohol addict trying to figure out how to make his life and death matter. Funny, sad, sweet, bittersweet, odd, cool, all the things.
A book written in the ‘80s about the Spiritual Disciplines—long before they became “cool.”
I’ve fallen in love with beautiful books—and this is one.
Another sign of God’s love: Awe.
The list, my star rating, and some notes. In 2018 I started trying to keep a count and list of all the books I read in a year, in addition to the longer entries about particular books.
Very fun book that explores families, parenting, adoption, and great characters with lots of funny lines and humorous pearls of wisdom. Highly recommend!
Sounds like a weird book, but I love it now that I read it.
A strange reason for hope.
Thin Places are fascinating to me.
