4.5 ⭐Once again, this man hits it out of the park. I wish he would write more children‘s books. He has such a creative mind and such a way with words. In this book, our character gets a new teacher. The new teacher is kind of gruff and our main character goes into some pretty crazy stories. But how much is true how much is not? Weird Al can tell a story, whether he‘s rhyming them to polka music or putting them in a book, this man makes words

LibrarianRyan that adult and children want to listen to. And when you read his books, they sound like him. I love that about his writing about this book and his other one. Please Weird Al write more books. 3w

I read Book 2 for book club a couple years ago, so I was happy to circle back to the beginning of the story. I listened to the audiobook version, which was a good production using three main narrator voices and a fourth narrator for the “framework” story.

Meanwhile, two more are actively in progress.

The housemaid series are the most popular by far, but there is not a single stand alone of hers I‘ve read that doesn‘t keep me glued until I know what happens, and even when I think I know… I don‘t

It had been YEARS since I read this (I think I read it in high school), and I remembered so little, it was like reading it for the first time! I know I watched the miniseries way back when, and I also remember very little of that—so it was all new!)

I was so impressed by the depth of spiritual reflection and growth explored through Christy‘s perspective here. There‘s a real wrestling with faith & vocation, and with the complexities of how to ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …serve & help the “disadvantaged” from a position of both ignorance & privilege. Marshall‘s characters are vivid and both lovable (Fairlight and Miss Alice) and frustrating (there were so many times I wanted to shake condescending David!).

The ending felt very abrupt, though—in spite of how long the book is, the final resolution really needed more fleshing out. That aside, this was a very worthwhile re-read ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …(and it‘s got me wanting to re-read Marshall‘s Julie, which I also read as a teen, but remember much more vividly!).

Thank you to @TheAromaofBooks for hosting this buddy read in November/December—I can‘t believe it took me this long to actually write a review 🤦🏻‍♀️

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. I was surprised at how engaging I found it. However, I did feel like the story lost momentum when the pandemic swept through, and, like you, I wanted more resolution, especially regarding the romance. Even a brief epilogue would have been nice! 1mo
Butterfinger My grandmother loved Catherine Marshall. I think it is time to reread A Man Called Peter. 1mo
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Yes, definitely! There were little hints throughout the book as to how the romance would end up, but because of how abrupt the ending was, it almost felt like a bait and switch. I wanted more of a resolution for David and more development with Neil. Even so, it was such a good read. 1mo

Another twisty thriller written in true McFadden style with each chapter bouncing from character to character creating a fast paced read. Read this in a day, definitely gripping, but the subject matter...a little more difficult to stomach if I'm honest.
Having read 3 of McFadden's books, I can see a lot of similarities in her characters and storyline. Not saying it's a bad thing just might start to make her books quite predictable.

It is a very very foggy frosty Sunday morning here is Southend. We have escaped the snow (thank goodness) and have had some cold days. This morning was a beautiful walk in the Frost and fog. Home now with a big cup of tea and a thriller to dive into
