(Susan Cain)
The Fringe Hours (Jessica Turner)
Jesus the King (Timothy Keller)
A Little Salty to Cut the
Sweet (Sophie Hudson) - this is such a fun memoir. Sophie has another book that I can't wait to read.
He Chose the Nails (Max
Lucado) - I do love the devotional and contemplative style Lucado uses in his books.
Shakespeare Saved My Life:
Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard (Laura Bates) - I must confess that I skimmed this one. I checked it out from the Library on my Kindle and couldn't renew it so I had to read it in a day. I may revisit it soon.
Sabbath (Wayne Muller) - I would have been fine with only reading the first half of this book. The second half got a little too meditative and new age-y for me.
Fiction:
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Alan Bradley)
Big Little Lies (Liane Moriarty)
The Magician’s Nephew (C.S. Lewis)
The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)
The Good Girl (Mary Kubica)
The Invention of Wings (Sue Monk Kidd)
The Weed that Strings the
Hangman’s Bag (Alan Bradley) - this is the second book in the Flavia de Luce series. I just love them -- entertaining and an easy read.
Year of Wonders (Geraldine
Brooks) - historical fiction is quickly becoming my favorite genre. This one did not disappoint. It's about the Black Plague so it's sad - don't say I didn't warn you.
Three Wishes (Liane
Moriarty) - I actually listened to this one on Audible. I didn't like it as much as Big Little Lies.
Orphan Train (Christina
Baker Kline) - by far the BEST book I read in April. It's probably second only to The Invention of Wings.
The Things we do for Love
(Kristin Hannah) - enjoyable. Definitely a beach read that I wasn't reading on the beach.
Angels Walking (Karen Kingsbury) - it was fine.
On Deck:
Still by Lauren Winner
A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? By Mindy Kaling
Total Finished as of April 30, 2015 -- 28
So I really am going to the beach later this month. What should I be sure to bring with me?
