A good friend gave me this book, it‘s very much not what I usually read. But I‘m glad I did. There are no easy fixes or answers. Boyle asks only that we have compassion for our fellow humans.
“The strategy of Jesus is not centered in taking the right stand on issues, but rather in standing in the right place-with the outcast and those relegated to the margins.”

Reading very much out of my comfort zone, I‘m in East Los Angeles in the current century with Pastor Gregory Boyle and the congregants and residents of the area in this nonfiction account of Boyle‘s outreach efforts.

We have a couple trips planned for June, so I likely won't read everything I'd like to, but I am excited for V.E. Schwab's new book, as well as S.A. Cosby's.
pickOkay, I get it now. I never had anyone assign this, so I just never got around to it. Now I feel all sorts of wrecked. What an incredible piece of writing - and SE Hinton was 15 when she started it?! Okay, brb, need to go track down her other work.
pickThis isn‘t a genre I usually read, but I recommend it. It was very fast paced and suspenseful. The leader of a gang is Lola, but everyone thinks it‘s her boyfriend. Until she needs to prove herself to the Cartel and then Lola is thrown into a territory war. The author softens these hard characters and made them well rounded with B storylines. This is a violent book, but there are many themes in this book for a book club, so great pick for that!
1. There was little good about me at a young age but this would be one. It started when I think a Second or Third Grade teacher pulled me aside; told me I shouldn‘t be getting B-s in school. And I never did again save for Math & Mathish Hard Science.
2. Characters in book, PonyBoy & SodaPop Curtis. I adored this book as a child. Less so when I had to read it twice in different schools. I‘d told my family (in jest!) I was set to marry Rob Lowe.
pickI listened to this while my stepdaughter reads it for English class….I was shocked that I loved it. There was a lot more compassion and tenderness than I anticipated for a book about a gang of teenage boys. I see why this is considered to be the start of YA fiction, even though most of what I‘ve read in the genre pales in comparison. My stepdaughter, she‘s still working on it, but she read ahead to the ending (what‘s with young people today?).
pickThis book is so well written and real, one of my top reads from Febuary!
