Completed a fiction and nonfiction from my TBR pile this week 😃
This was my gift from the local church. It passed the censors by being an unimaginative tattoo of the idea that "the Messiah is among you. Choose to make each moment holy." That's not how it works. Nobody cares. I am evil but I could choose to be good. So what? Tell me a story, like... The Five People (YMiH). Give me a vision of how life might work and how my choices affect things. This is a common flaw in "inspirational" literature. No story.
Recent acquisitions:
📖 The Penguin Book of Carols edited by Ian Bradley
📖 Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (Oxford World's Classics) - I collect editions of Tess and this is my 29th

pickThis meaty tale of Vatican intrigue and conspiracy (set during the middle years of John Paul II‘s pontificate) kept me up late turning pages and Googling all the pseudonyms to figure out who‘s who. A supposed basis in fact amps up the suspense. Fans of Dan Brown thrillers might enjoy this (though its theological perspective is different). I love books that plausibly deliver on insider knowledge of secretive or otherwise closed groups.
I love our #coffeebeanbookclub missing from this amazing package is a mason jar filled with one of my fav candies (I hid them before the kids saw them). The coffee smells amazing, I LOVE the coffee coaster, and can‘t wait to try the jelly. This months read looks like so much fun. Thank you so much!!!
Yummy whipped-cream-topped hot chocolate from hubby and my little cutie pie! 🥰
Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, my 60 day plan turned into a 90 day plan, and I‘m behind on that too. So I‘m almost 1/3 of the way through the Bible now after my Jan 1 start. I really was hoping to finish in early March, or at least in time for my four-year Christian anniversary on March 16, but hey, I‘m just doing the best I can! #BibleBuddyRead
