Surprised by Joy | C.S. Lewis

pick

In Surprised By Joy, C.S. Lewis takes us through his journey from atheism to Christianity.

The beginning chapters and the last chapters were excellent. My interest wavered in the middle, but I am still glad I listened to this.

tpixie Have you read

Becoming Mrs. Lewis: A Novel

Giving Up the Ghost: A Memoir | Hilary Mantel

I‘m not confident about many of the microdecisions I made in 2025‘s #ReadingBracket. Truth is, I had an INCREDIBLE reading year! A bunch of the match-ups could‘ve gone either way. I think I feel pretty confident about the WINNER (though I did read it a while ago now).

Best I can *confidently* do is a Top 7 (tagged below)!

•Giving Up the Ghost
•Journal of a Solitude
•Night Swimmers
•Sleep
•Death Valley
•The Ten Year Affair
•Moominland Midwinter

monalyisha @Cseydel Thank you for making the bracket! I‘m not sure if I‘ve mentioned it before but I‘ve loved tagging you every month and being put in mind of the seaside, or “Cseyde.” 😉🌊 2w

monalyisha @kspenmoll Her writing slayed me. 2w

CSeydel The seaside! I love it! And I‘ve enjoyed seeing your bracket take shape over the year. It‘s a fun exercise for me too in terms of letting go and just picking a winner, even knowing that it could easily go the other way. Top 7 is very reasonable! 2w

My First Five Husbands..And the Ones Who Got Away | Rue McClanahan

pick

This book is a hoot & so is Rue! She‘s candid about her poor taste in men & she hilariously rates all bedroom romps by her FQ system: Fun Quotient!😂
Loved learning about her impressive theatrical career, working with top playwrights.
We all know Rue for her standout roles in Maude & Golden Girls (with coolest inside stories!), but she‘s been in so much more.
Rue finally found love with hub #6 but her son Mark was the guy always there for her.

MemoirsForMe Rue left us way too soon. So happy for all those Maude and Golden Girls reruns! #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks 3w
