#OffMyShelf “Out of your comfort zone”

A good friend gave me this book, it‘s very much not what I usually read. But I‘m glad I did. There are no easy fixes or answers. Boyle asks only that we have compassion for our fellow humans.
“The strategy of Jesus is not centered in taking the right stand on issues, but rather in standing in the right place-with the outcast and those relegated to the margins.”
pickHanagaki Takemichi is watching the news when he learns his junior high girlfriend—the only girlfriend he‘s ever had died, caught in a gang feud she didn‘t have anything to do with. When he‘s in an accident, he finds himself 12 years in the past with an opportunity to change things & save his girlfriend. Along the way he meets one of the gang leaders, & likes him, & soon finds there are more people he wants to save. An entertaining read.

Reading very much out of my comfort zone, I‘m in East Los Angeles in the current century with Pastor Gregory Boyle and the congregants and residents of the area in this nonfiction account of Boyle‘s outreach efforts.

We have a couple trips planned for June, so I likely won't read everything I'd like to, but I am excited for V.E. Schwab's new book, as well as S.A. Cosby's.
pickOkay, I get it now. I never had anyone assign this, so I just never got around to it. Now I feel all sorts of wrecked. What an incredible piece of writing - and SE Hinton was 15 when she started it?! Okay, brb, need to go track down her other work.

Such a powerful book. I haven't read the graphic novel version yet but it's on my list

This one is in my ears today, as well as her "Rise Up With Fists!!"

Tagged book because Jenny Lewis was in the movie version.

pickThis isn‘t a genre I usually read, but I recommend it. It was very fast paced and suspenseful. The leader of a gang is Lola, but everyone thinks it‘s her boyfriend. Until she needs to prove herself to the Cartel and then Lola is thrown into a territory war. The author softens these hard characters and made them well rounded with B storylines. This is a violent book, but there are many themes in this book for a book club, so great pick for that!
