Another book I‘ve been meaning to get to for a long time, this is the first biography of a saint that I‘ve read. I found Teresa of Avila‘s life and work to be much more integrated with the material world around her than I expected. A very interesting snapshot of medieval Spanish culture, too.🔸#aprilreads2021
I first heard about this book over a decade ago and finally decided to read it for my book club‘s May theme, “a book you‘ve been meaning to read for a long time but keep putting off,” after a friend highly recommended it. In a word: Wow. I can see why this is considered a modern classic—it‘s provocative, unsparing yet also compassionate, and unputdownable.🔸#aprilreads2021 #LitsyATXReadersSociety #LARS
This entertaining middle grade fantasy series based on Hindu mythology has become an auto-buy for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the latest installment!🔸#aprilreads2021
A delightful discovery, this colorfully illustrated book offers sensitive, compassionate advice for how to show your support to people who have been through really difficult experiences.🔸#aprilreads2021
Read this for my book club‘s April theme, books/library. It‘s a short collection of quotes curated from C. S. Lewis‘s essays and letters, so probably not super interesting unless you‘re a fan of the author, which I am, so I enjoyed it.🔸#aprilreads2021 #LitsyATXReadersSociety #LARS
Quite a potpourri of titles this past month! Sometimes I like to mix it up. 🙂 #aprilreads2021
