Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose | 
I‘m reading a good book, have several potential good books in my TBR stack, bought a few yesterday, and now I found this one at Goodwill. I‘m getting overwhelmed! 😆 I just want to read them all at once, but I‘ve found, I am truly a monogamous reader.
so-soThis book was meh for me. Flannery O'Connor is one of my favorite authors, so learning more about her writing process was interesting. That being said, I disagreed with a lot of things, especially the dismissive tone that often popped up. I'm glad I read this book though, and I'm in love with that cover!
Sunday morning with Flannery and peppermint mocha.
Now starting this one thanks to @thereadingwomen podcast. It's my first Flannery, and maybe not the best place to start, but it's far less daunting than the copy of her collected works.
These two #classics are written by the two authors that are the guiding spirit of and inspiration for this podcast. Flannery and Virginia have shaped the way Kendra and I view the world and we knew there had to be more recent authors doing the same thing. We were right. In the last year, we have read so many incredible books and are looking forward to another year of fantastic reads.⠀

"When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville."
Josh surprised me with a weekend trip to Milledgeville. I think he's a keeper. It was so amazing to see the farm and house I've heard so much about. You can tell how much the setting informed her writing. Can't you just see her sitting on this porch entertaining visitors from all over? -A
Some more gorgeous covers came into the store today!

That moment when you're about to read your partner in feminist bookish chaos's favorite author. Pretty sure the peacock is even @autumnprivett 's spirit animal.

This collection is an excellent summary of Flannery's theology and general worldview. She's a wonderful thinker and this posthumous collection of essays and lectures show that.
