“I and Pangur do each our task, and share our peaceful days.“
Join a thoughtful monk and his white cat, Pangur, as they spend their days doing what they love most. The White Cat and the Monk is a warm story about friendship and finding joy in everyday routines.
pickThis story celebrates friendship and doing what you love. Jo Ellen Bogart‘s retelling of an old Irish poem captures the peaceful life of a monk and his white cat, Pangur, who happily spend their days side by side
pickThis made for a good listen even though I kept mixing up the names of the Monks. This story was more about Gamache‘s and Beauvoir‘s relationship which I‘m absolutely fine with! Even though it was one of the longer ones, it kept me engaged & listening! I‘m really enjoying this series and am eager to see how the next books turn out!
pickSeeing such mixed reviews, I slept on this one for a long time. But I‘m glad I finally went for it because I completely loved it. The plot is ‘things were bad and then they got worse‘ told through a fanatical prior and two monks in 600s Kerry.
panIf this book hadn‘t been my local reading group‘s choice, I would have abandoned it early on. The blurb didn‘t really appeal to me. It‘s well written but I found it incredibly boring and so slow. Nothing really happened until the twist at the end. I skimmed a lot of it - too much animal gutting, midden & cathedral building, praying and copying of the Bible for my liking! I wouldn‘t eat a turnip from their vegetable patch, that‘s for sure! 💩🤢.
I did a good job at reading my own books this month! Just two from the library, the rest all came off my TBR.
Haven was the best of the month, but I also really liked My Year of Meats, Sea of Tranquility, We Carry Their Bones, and What Strange Paradise. I think they were all picks but one. (Sad Janet)
