An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith | Barbara Brown Taylor

I‘m not sure about this one yet.

I added it to my list when going through #AuldLangSpine recs with a fine-toothed comb. I asked my husband to buy it for my birthday. I decided to dive in now to scout it as a potential gift for my stepmom. I think I support the author‘s overall message. I‘m not sure (yet) whether I‘m here for her *tone.* TBD.

It might not have been a natural follow-up to “A Well-Trained Wife.” Religious content is tricky atm…

TheBookHippie I cannot. If you needed the probs only person who 🤮🤢 this book. It‘s HER. Not necessarily the content for me I think. 16h

Same Kind of Different as Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together | Ron Hall

pick

If not for my book club, I would never have picked this book up. I‘m glad I did though. I found Denver‘s story so compelling. It‘s so humbling to know that someone who was basically in slavery, who spent decades as homeless, can be so loving, so spiritual, so faithful to God. In his place, I don‘t know that I would have that grace. The world is a better place for him being in it. As well as Debbie, who was an angel. Cont…

Lauranahe Ron though…well. I‘m glad he listened to Debbie, and befriended Denver. I really wish he wasn‘t so biased against fat people, because I got real tired of his derogatory asides/jokes about them. 1d

When Crickets Cry | Charles Martin

I‘m reading this for my IRL Bookclub, #FriendsWithBooks.
It‘s a lovely work of literary fiction. I‘m enjoying it so much more than I thought I would. There are many different ways a heart needs healing.

monkeygirlsmama I really feel like I have read this, but it's not logged on my GoodReads so I'm not sure. 3w

tpixie @monkeygirlsmama I hate that when that happens. That is one good thing about Goodreads- if I remember to use it. Sometimes I see the cover of a book or read the back of the book so often that it confuses me of whether I really read it or not! Because just reading the back of the cover makes it seem familiar… 3w

#ReadYourKindle
I‘m going to try a new challenge this year thanks to @dabbe and @CBee
Thanks for letting me join @CBee
I‘ll start with When Crickets Cry

CBee Welcome! Glad to have you. The Scarpetta books are what got me hooked on the mystery/thriller genre - I started reading them in high school. There‘s a Scarpetta series coming with Nicole Kidman playing her 👏🏻 3w

tpixie @CBee I‘ve enjoyed the Scarpetta series. There were a few in the middle where everyone was a little too dysfunctional, but I do enjoy the mysteries. I‘m so excited to hear about the series! 3w

CBee @tpixie see, I like dysfunctional sometimes 😂😂 But I know what you mean. I‘m excited about the series too! 3w

dabbe @CBee @tpixie Kidman as Scarpetta? Count me in!!! 🤩🤗🤩 3w

dabbe 🩶🖤🩶 3w

tpixie @dabbe @CBee 🥳🥳🥳 (edited) 3w

DogMomIrene @CBee You are freaking me out! I loved the early Scarpetta, but stopped reading when she changed PoV in her writing. Have they gotten better again? Because I may need to pick this series up again with NK playing KS! 3w

CBee @DogMomIrene honestly I haven‘t continued the series, I read all of the earlier ones but none of the new-ish ones. BUT I will happily watch Nicole Kidman play, I don‘t know, a crazed blowfish or something - as I love her that much 😂😂😂 She could play anything or do anything and I‘d watch it ♥️ (edited) 3w

CBee @dabbe RIGHT?!? I‘m so stoked. 3w

CBee @tpixie also, Jamie Lee Curtis is in it. And I adore her. @dabbe @DogMomIrene 3w

dabbe @CBee @tpixie @DogMomIrene #woohoo! 🤩🤩🤩 3w

tpixie @DogMomIrene I think they‘ve gotten better since the ones in the middle. I can‘t remember which one I read that I started enjoying again more. 3w

tpixie @CBee Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing 🤩 3w

DogMomIrene @CBee Have you seen her in The Sticky on Prime I think? It‘s about the great maple syrup heist and she‘s freaking hilarious in it! As Americans living in 🇨🇦 we appreciated her character‘s perspective. 3w

tpixie @DogMomIrene No! Sounds great! My daughter and I are looking for something else to watch. We‘ll have to look into this. 3w

DogMomIrene @tpixie Im going to do some internet sleuthing on this one then. Because I‘d love to love her books again! Thanks! 3w

tpixie @DogMomIrene I love Margo Martindale also- from The Americans 3w

CBee @DogMomIrene let me know what you find! 3w

CBee @tpixie I LOVED The Americans!! 3w

CBee @tpixie check out Black Doves on Netflix. It‘s great and Sarah Lancashire is sort of a “Margo-esque” character in it. Plus Keira Knightley! 3w

DogMomIrene @tpixie Yes! The Americans was so good. And she‘s sooooo great in The Sticky. The whole thing is just wacky fun. 3w

DogMomIrene @CBee Will do! I‘m expecting someone has a fan wiki about this series where plenty of people will weigh in with their opinion of which book revived the series. 3w

CBee @DogMomIrene oh, there has to be something like that 👏🏻👏🏻 3w

tpixie @CBee @DogMomIrene The Americans was great!! Oh a wiki page- smart idea! I also like Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennon series. Forensic Anthropology

Deja Dead, Volume 1

(edited) 3w

tpixie @CBee ok! I‘ll check out Black Doves! 🕊️ 3w

Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board | Bethany Hamilton

I love this story and grew up with it. It‘s a very inspiration plot about a girl who was tragically attacked by a shark when she was surfing. The story is about how she overcomes and still peruses her passion of surfing.
