Margery Kempe | 
Grandson and I rolled my coins. $76. There was a bookstore across the street. My $76 has evaporated but I‘m very excited. Grandson, not so much. He wanted some of the loot. And check out this description of the book on the top: “Based on fragments from the Christian mystic's autobiography written in the 1430s and the author's tale of unrequited gay love, offers a story of Margery's sexual obsession with visits from Jesus.†I‘m here for all of it.
LeahBergen Nice book haul! 2y
Suet624 @LeahBergen Thanks! I'm pretty excited. I just need to find a spot to stack them. Bookshelves are all full at this point. Pure abundance! 2y

Suet624 @Liz_M I looked at the reviews on Litsy and that seemed to be the prevailing theme. Strangely, this book has been hanging around in my mind for years ever since I started seeing the reviews. It sought me out at the bookstore today, front and center on a shelf. Seemed like it was time for me to grab it. 2y
Amiable I second @Liz_M and her thoughts about “Five Days at Memorial.“ 2y
Ruthiella I read The Book of Margery Kemp, modernized by John Skinner some years ago and found it surprisingly moving. 2y
Suet624 @Ruthiella I guess I'll be going down the rabbit hole of finding John Skinner's book after finishing this one. :) 2y
Reggie Sounds wild! Happy reading, Sue! 2y
