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.

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

A Backward Glance | Edith Wharton

pick

Infamously unrevealing, but Wharton‘s voice was gorgeous. Her prose magnificent. What she does tell us, including extensively about Henry James, is magical. All of it. She captures a world that existed before WWI, the experience of that war, and her personal devastation afterwards as she realizes that pre-war world is lost.

TheBookHippie The prose. Gorgeous. Wonderful review. Unrelated the 60 percent rating on Litsy makes me sad. I loved this. I‘m so glad I had this with me these months. Weirdly soothing. 3w

Graywacke @TheBookHippie I‘m happy to see that and so happy to have read this with you guys. As for the ratings, they are low everywhere. I think readers want dirt. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 3w
