Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace | Anne Lamott

pick

Love Anne Lamott! Her faith-infused essays and honest outlook on life are always healing for the soul and just what I needed to read. Although this moving book was published in 2014, Anne‘s life lessons on grief, forgiveness, community, friendship and grace still hit home.
And yes, Anne‘s words even got Frost‘s attention! 😸

The Six Rules of Maybe | Deb Caletti

pick

Unexpectedly my favorite Deb Caletti book thus far. The unrequited/being in love with someone you shouldn‘t be hit a little too close to home. I loved Zeus, the dog, Scarlet‘s journey, her family and the escapades of her neighbors. I definitely cried the last few chapters and loved the writing.
