Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a link-up each month called Twitterature: a "place to share short, casual reviews of books you’ve been reading."
Carry on, Warrior :: Glennon Doyle Melton
Funny, poignant, brutally honest tales from the life of a recovered bulimic and alcoholic...definitely lots of passages read aloud to Professor from this one!
The Journal of Best Practices :: David Finch
Memoir of a marriage in shambles...until the husband was diagnosed with Asperger's. Then began a lot of work, struggle, hilarity, and sweetness as they battled back to save their relationship. Also a lot of passages read aloud to Professor!
Choosing to See :: Mary Beth Chapman
I felt really dumb when I realized I'd totally missed the premise of this book: I honestly thought that Mary Beth Chapman had gone blind and wrote a book about it. Instead, this is the heart-wrenching story of losing a daughter. Sometimes hard to read, sometimes lighthearted, always pointing to Jesus. Professor got an earful of this one, too.
The UnWired Mom :: Sarah Mae
Loved this little book; it left me wanting more, but isn't that always the way with ebooks? I'll be writing more about this soon, but one thing is for sure: I am definitely more aware of how I use (and abuse) the internet on a day-to-day basis, and I've started praying about it quite a bit.
The Journal of Best Practices sounds fascinating! Thanks for the rec.
ReplyDeleteHe's a curser, so beware, but it's not too heavy and the funny makes up for it. :D
DeleteI've seen The Journal of Best Practices mentioned a few times. It looks interesting. I also have The Unwired Mom and plan to read it very soon.
ReplyDeleteI have plans to read The UnWired Mom again; maybe we'll both get to it ;)
DeleteI need to read The Unwired Mom!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely convicting, so beware! :D
DeleteI felt the same way about the Un-Wired mom, definitely left me wanting more. But it was pretty effective to get me thinking about some solutions to my internet "abuse" also. I'm interested to read more about it soon.
