so-soThe Abbey, by James Martin(2015)
Premise: Two suburbanites are drawn into the life of a local monastery.
Review: A good effort at fiction by a popular nonfiction writer, but this probably should have stayed a nonfiction ‘monasticism for dummies‘ book.

pickThis is the second book in the series. I liked it, although time span went a little too fast between the first and the second book. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
This took way longer to read than it should have. Disappointing read until last 50-ish pages. Don‘t think I‘ll be reading the rest of the series unless I hear some REALLY great things about it from y‘all 🫤
pickI really like this book. I found this book very interesting and I love the idea of time travel in this series. I loved the characters and the plot of the book. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
When I was in high school I read and loved this series. Returning to them now when it feels like the world is in such chaos, felt like a warm hug. Some plot points are obviously dated, but I loved rereading these books that I adored when I was so young.
Book two of the Left Behind series for #SeriesLove2025.
I felt an urge to finish/reread this series from recent events. I've only made it 2/3 of the way through the series and it's been long enough that I need to start over rather than continuing. @Andrew65

Across the Ages: dual timeline (1727 and 1927) and time travel; that is right up my alley.
The Pirate Bride: I loved the characters in this novel. However, I'm not a fan of age gap romance so that brought it down for me.
