TakeMeToChurch

Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology | Leah Remini, Rebecca Paley

I'm so excited to read this. I caught a few episodes of the tv special she did about Scientology, and found it horrifically fascinating. #TakeMeToChurch #LyricalApril

Cinfhen We (my family & dinner guests) were just talking about this book and Scientology this past weekend. Curious to hear your thoughts, when you are finished reading! (edited) 7y

Gilead | Marilynne Robinson

I've heard so much praise for this award-winning novel about a minister writing to his son about life. One day, I'll finally make time to read it. #TBR #LyricalApril #TakeMeToChurch

Cinfhen I forgot about this one! It's been on my TBR for ages!!! 7y

@Cinfhen

suomi One of my favorite books! 7y

Cinfhen I'm glad you remembered and shared...it's beautiful 😍 7y

Cinfhen And I loved this book too, but I had a different cover 😒 7y

TheKidUpstairs @suomi loved this one. I think I read the whole thing in about two days when I got it (obviously this was before kids, it would take much longer to get through a book this size now) 7y

The Pillars of the Earth | Ken Follett

#lyricalapril #takemetochurch Another Pillars of the Earth post, but who would've thought a book about building a church could be so riveting?

Cinfhen I read the book but don't recall any illustrations...lovely 💕 7y

Midwinter of the Spirit | Phil Rickman

#LyricalApril #day16 #TakeMeToChurch Yesterday was a really bad day for me,I think a hospital visit is in my near future,so I'm playing catchup.This is the 2nd book in a series about Merrily Watkins, a female priest & "Deliverance" minister (exorcist) in the Anglican Church. A widow with a teenage daughter, she battles with sexism, prejudice & the paranormal whilst trying to be a good mum & keep her faith. I'm not religious but I love this series.

LauraBrook Will be thinking of you, and crossing fingers you start feeling better and can avoid a hospital stay. Or, that you go there and feel better! Either way, I'm thinking of you and sending you love! 💖 7y

Lizpixie @DebinHawaii hugs are always welcome🤗 @Marchpane me too😘😘 @TrishB I'll take a bit better anyway!💜 @Michelle_mck believe me, I'm trying! I hate hospitals with a passion coz I've spent so much time in them, last time was a mixed sex ward which was awful☹️ @ScientistSam thank you!😘 @Jess_Read_This thanks, it was actually. Let's hope it continues🤞 @suomi me too lovey! Thanks😘❤️ @minkyb me too, I hate Hospitals! Food sux, noisy wards,germs.😷 7y

Lizpixie @Cinfhen I'm taking it easy, Foxtel, books & Litsy are the only things keeping me sane🙃 @LauraBrook thank you for your kindness, I'm trying to avoid a stay as hard as I can but at some point it'll be inevitable. Either way@ I'll be on Litsy staying in touch❤️💜💚 7y

I agree with the Marsh-wiggle.

Ruri_kaichou Is that the order you read the series in? I'm always interested to see how people like to read Narnia. 🤓 7y

BarbaraJean @TobeyTheScavengerMonk - your shelving order makes me laugh, because I do the reverse! I have a set that's numbered chronologically, but I shelve them in publishing order--my preferred reading order. Tagging @Ruri_kaichou in case you're interested in my preference! 😊 7y

Karkar @Ruri_kaichou I read them in story chronologically I have a large volume with all the books which is set up this way 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Karkar @Ruri_kaichou @BarbaraJean I always recommend publishing order to newcomers, especially for kids, because Wardrobe is just a better hook than The Magician's Nephew. But for my own display I go with the in-story timeline. 7y

Ruri_kaichou @BarbaraJean 👍👍 I like chronological over publishing, but I love how you mix you set up as well. 7y

Ruri_kaichou @Karkar I thought about getting that huge book, but I like having my little books 😊 7y

Ruri_kaichou @TobeyTheScavengerMonk that's a really good recommendation. I should remember that when I want to start reading these to my kids 7y

Born a Crime and Other Third World Problems | Trevor Noah

This one came to mind today for both of the photo challenges I'm doing this month. It's definitely #ThoughtProvoking, and his mother's relationship with church seemed fitting for #TakeMeToChurch 👍🏼 What can I say, I'm a multi-tasker. 😉 #AprilBookShowers #LyricalApril @RealLifeReading @Cinfhen

LaraReads Amen! 🙏🏼😸 7y

Cinfhen I'm all for multitasking and I never tire from seeing this book...💙TREVOR💙 7y
