I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I‘m glad I finally got around to reading Gilead. The story was different but the writing and the pace reminded me a lot of a favorite of mine- Crossing to Safety.

SamAnne Hoping to get to this one soon! 2mo

Good of course, but the least memorable from the series I‘d say

Okay, MLB playoffs start today. If the Royals lose I read ten pages of the Foote. If they win I do five of V. Fun way to channel my emotions.

Susanita Dramatic game! 3mo

3.25⭐
-suspense thriller
-cold case murder mystery
-coming home
-unanswered questions, lies, & betrayals
-This is one from her backlog and probably not as compelling as her current material.
-I didn‘t guess the ending but I wasn‘t trying to, either…like I didn‘t quite care enough to try???
-Christina Traister‘s narration was just okay for me.

I‘ve been somewhat disillusioned as my life has run its course. It is the way of things, I suppose. Bad things happen, and we lose our way. But this book feels the way church used to feel for me. Like I‘m singing along to a favorite worship song, eyes closed, surrounded by a community in which I belong. Lights low, emotions high. It feels like coming home. It‘s a small glimpse of eternity, a little embrace of heaven. My heart echoes with it.

lil1inblue Beautifully said. This book made me feel closer to my grandfather, a man of great faith. I wished so much he was around to read it with me. 4mo
annahenke @lil1inblue I love that for you. What a beautiful thing when a book can feel like someone who‘s gone is right next to us, even just for a moment. 4mo
HeatherBookNerd Beautiful book 4mo
