"Do not overwrite. Rich, ornate prose is hard to digest, generally unwholesome, and sometimes nauseating."

This was a solid little mystery. Nothing super thrilling but didn't drag either. For a Miss Marple mystery it doesn't really feature her much until the end. I'm not disappointed I read this story but it's not on my re-read list either. I say read it but don't expect to be blown away.

A solid #AgathaChristie #mystery! She of course drops hints all along the way then clearly ties them up neatly at the very end.
Just the right length and set perfectly in a small town.

It's National Read A Book Day!! 📚 I wrapped up this book just in time to review it for today's holiday. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The stories are pretty easy to follow and you are not kept in the dark about much so it's nice to be able to follow along with the action which is pretty fast paced. If you're looking for a who-done-it then you'll need to turn elsewhere.
I plan to read more of Lupin now that I've started! On to Miss Marple! #mystery #classy

A beautiful work that results in provoking deep thought about the ideas that drove societies, key historical figures, and governments through time. Herman invites the reader to take stock of what ideas and world views are driving your daily decisions."

This book is an easy read. Marx clearly lays out the call to follow Jesus with your life and fight for what God commands. It's an encouraging look at what happens to someone's life that's surrendered to following God. At times the macho feels a bit much but that's the price of making the point that we often let weakness and fear run our lives.

If you find philosophy boring I encourage you to read about Peter Abelard's steamy love affair and the tragic conclusion. It's pretty wild. #nonfiction #history #philosophy

First review in a long time. I finally finished this trilogy! It was a really insightful look into the life of an incredibly interesting man who died too soon. Highly recommend if you're interested in Teddy. I will admit it did drag a bit at the end.

I picked this book up at the library on a whim. It turned out to be so good I bought a copy. It's now required reading for our family. The author does such a good job of presenting truth in a practical way to help equip parents to do their job.

'I'll sleep when I'm dead' is the mantra of a soul living in denial of God and outside the flow of eternity.

This is a great book for helping you slow down in life, eliminating what's not important, and focusing on finding peaceful quality in your life regardless of where you're at. It helped me remind myself of not getting caught in the vortex of current culture.

This is a fun little history book that looks at the account of modern man from a different perspective. It's heavy enough to have satisfying substance yet light enough to not bore you with details.
