What have you read and loved lately?
Oh, what a blessing @heidi_hess_saxton has given the world with #avemomspray. It’s a beautiful book filled with beautiful content. It’s a gift and I can’t wait to dive in!
There’s something soothing to the closeups of mums and joyseedums. So that’s what you get in your feed today from me. Whatcha reading?
I can’t remember if I picked this up because @erinmccolecupp or @shannonkevans referenced in in their books, but boy, it’s gooooood. I feel like anything I say about it will fall short of giving you the full range and depth it offers. This takes “be nice to yourself” to a measurable and realistic application, with a great side of scripture and a dose of grace. Highly recommended.

Huh. This was some pretty targeted spam texting.

What. A. Book. Powerful, beautiful, insightful writing. Amazing storytelling. The kind of book that stays with you for a few days, weeks, months, maybe even the rest of your life. Wow.
Thanks to @awordinprogress for recommending it.
First of the books I finished this weekend, and just as delightful as I expected. #janeaustenmysteries #whywouldifoldwhenihavethistoread
Sometimes, you have to let the space you have be enough. I used to think I had a lot to say and share. In the last few years, I’m not sure if *I* decided I don’t or if I’ve been spiritually nudged. And this is what I have: Sometimes, the space you have is enough. Also, what are you reading? #becauseIalwayswanttoknow
Recent reads, all fiction.
1️⃣ Book of Helen, by Sherry Antonetti. Long overdue read (by years and years). I liked it. Go find it and enjoy it if you want a dose of historical and a dash of hysterical.
2️⃣ Anne of Manhattan, by Brina, because why wouldn’t I dive in Nd read an Anne book? Spoiler: it’s not LMM, not by a long shot. And if the best we can do is living together, then…well. I guess if you like steamy, there’s something for you.
3️⃣Child of Destiny, by Mina Ambrose, second in a series and, much to my surprise, more engaging and riveting than I found the first.
Wow. @erinmccolecupp and @osvcatholicbooks my 👒is off. Excellent book: great writing, wonderful insight, piercing truth. I’m only 10% sure I’m the audience, but I’m 100% sure that there’s needed wisdom here. If you come from a family of dysfunction or love someone who does, check this out. I was especially touched by how much more tenderly I feel like God and Jesus look at me. I experienced a lot of grace in reading this, and I’m so, so grateful that I had the blessing of it on my bookshelf. #highlyrecommended #catholicbookstagram #allthingsnew
