Beautiful Mystery | Louise Penny

From my nightly read. #poetryandpsalms #nunlit #nunlitquarterly
The author attended the Benedictines‘ chanting of the Divine Office, which often included psalms.This brings to mind Louise Penny‘s book,The Beautiful Mystery.

The Cloister Walk | Kathleen Norris

My library had this in audio, so I started listening to it for #nunlit #nunlitquarterly, only to find it‘s really not suitable for listening— at least not for me. I couldn‘t remember much of what I heard, so I returned the audiobook and got the Kindle book for $4.99. I‘m appreciating it more in print.

The Cloister Walk | Kathleen Norris

“contemplative potential of the reading process…”
I think many Littens read in this way. 🩵📚💙

This book was published in 1996 so it may be in libraries. I did not realize it was 382 pages so we can go into February! Please let me know if you do not want to be tagged. I took the list from @jlhammar

Centique Happy new year Katherine. Im going to step out as i have a lot of other reading commitments this year. All the best 💕 2w

Librarybelle My library did have a copy, so I picked it up this week! I‘m fine with whatever the group decides about whether or not to carry into February. 2w

kspenmoll @Centique Thanks for letting me know. Happy reading! 2w

kspenmoll @Librarybelle We can play it by ear. 😀 2w

Deblovestoread I somehow missed this but my library has a copy so will pick up and join in. I‘m happy to read however the group decides. Thank you! 2w

Suet624 I read this years ago, maybe just a few years after she had published it. I might still have a copy, but rather than hunt in boxes for it I've decided to grab a copy from the library in Burlington (an hour away). It's the only library around that has it. Again, thank you for keeping Nunlit going. 2w

Hope you all are as excited as I am for our next pick, Belle Greene by Alexandra Lapierre! Read the book sometime in December, post your review &/or any thoughts along the way and be sure to tag the group. All are welcome!

I‘m planning to take a break from Litsy in the new year. If any of you would like to take over hosting duties and keep the group going, please be my guest.

Tamra I‘ve been looking forward to this one! 👏🏾👌🏾 2mo

TheKidUpstairs Thanks for the reminder! I totally forgot but I am really looking forward to this one! 2mo

LeahBergen I‘m about to post about our Persephone Club soon and have you slated to put forward our October picks. Do you want to stay in our rotation or should I bump the next person up into your spot? Either way will be absolutely fine! I overcommitted myself to buddy reads this year and haven‘t been very good at keeping up with the Europas. 😢 I‘m going to rein myself in next year, too! 😆 2mo

Tamra @LeahBergen I did too! Just so dang tempting. 😏 2mo

Chelsea.Poole Thanks for the reminder! I have this one ready to go! 2mo

CSeydel Enjoy! I‘m going to skip this one I think - I read the nonfiction account of Belle Greene

An Illuminated Life: Belle Da Costa Greene's Journey from Prejudice to Privilege

2mo

LeahBergen @Tamra Right?? 😆 2mo

LiteraryHoarderPenny This was a fantastic book! I was completely enthralled with Belle‘s story from beginning to end! The book club should fall in love with it for sure. 2mo

jlhammar @LeahBergen You can go ahead and take me out of the Persephone rotation, bump up the next person. I may still read along sometimes, but I don‘t need to choose or vote. Thanks for checking! 2mo

Suet624 I hope you won‘t be gone for long. 😳 2mo

LeahBergen @jlhammar No problem. Please pop in and read with us when you can! 😘 2mo

Gleefulreader Oh! I hope you‘ll be back soon @jlhammar! I haven‘t been the most active because of life intervening this year, but would love for this group to continue, so let me know if you don‘t find a host. I‘ve not hosted anything on here before but happy to learn! And I‘m thrilled to be starting this book! 2mo

LeahBergen @jlhammar Oh, I meant to ask … should I leave you on the tag group so that you can see what we‘re reading? Or remove you? 2mo

julieclair I‘m so excited about this one! And @jlhammar , thank you for the wonderful job you have done hosting. 💙💝💙 2mo

jlhammar @LeahBergen I guess you can just remove me since I‘m not sure how much I‘ll be participating. I follow you all so I‘ll be able to see what you‘re reading. Thanks! 2mo

tpixie @CSeydel I‘ll have to add that! I have read

The Personal Librarian
