Playing Favorites: Gifted Education and the Disruption of Community | 
At the halfway mark of 2024, I‘ve been taking stock of my reading so far this year. Above are my favorites. So many good ones!
I set goals of 100 books and 35,000 pages, which I‘ve bumped up to 120 books and 40,000 since I‘m ahead! From January through June, I finished 71 books, 25 of which were TBR from my own shelves. I was aiming for half the books I read this year to be from my owned TBR, so I‘ll have to step up that goal a bit, as well.
Caterina I loved An Altar in the World, and I LOVED The Cross and the Lynching Tree! I read it for seminary, and it had a big impact on me, and I especially think about it every Good Friday. Adding some of the rest of these to my TBR now! 8mo
BarbaraJean @Caterina An Altar in the World was such a breath of fresh air for me! I love her perspective on spiritual practice. I read The Cross and the Lynching Tree with my Education for Ministry group, just before Easter this year. It has completely changed the way I view Good Friday now. SUCH a good book, but also so difficult to wrestle with. We had some deep, rich, hard conversations as we discussed it. 8mo
Caterina I feel the same way about both books! And what wonderful timing, reading The Cross and the Lynching Tree right around Good Friday. I've considered reading it as a Lenten practice each year; maybe next year I'll do that. 8mo
