Heretic: A Memoir | Jeanna Kadlec

Pickpick

Listened to Heretic on audio while taking walks over the last week often finding myself at a cafe to scribble in my journal & gather my thoughts as much of this hit very close to home coming from a similar background and subsequently leaving the evangelical church when I was in my early thirties. It's a lot to unpack; even a decade later, I still find myself unpacking more and more. I appreciated hearing someone else's experience and perspective.

A Gate at the Stairs | Lorrie Moore

My first audiobook of 2025 was a #1001books listen. I liked this one better than the previous book I listened to by this author, but her style is not apparently for me. I felt like this book had somewhat disconnected storylines, left too many things unanswered, and ended rather abruptly. I guess that makes it true to life, but I‘m not sure what I am supposed to take away from it.

lauraisntwilder I love Lorrie Moore, but I think she's better at short stories. 4w
Readerann I agree. I was surprised this made the list. 4w
KadaGul @Daisey, thanks 🤝for reading 📖 and providing a review. I got this book 📕but kept skipping it because I was busy with the library‘s reading 📖challenges. I'm not feeling 🫢too bad about it now. I‘ll get to this author eventually🔜 4w
Daisey @lauraisntwilder This is good to know. I‘m not usually a big fan of short stories, but I‘ve definitely found a few authors where I feel theirs are much better than their long works. 4w

I need the next book immediately! I cannot believe it just ended right there. Ending, but not. I cannot wait to start the next book.

GingerAntics People are upset about the Canadian accent of the narrator. Honestly, it‘s not that big of a deal. Maybe I‘m used to it from growing up in the Midwest, but seriously, these people sound like petulant middle schoolers. Get over it. It‘s not that big of a deal, and not incorrect in her region. Chill. I heard no one comment on Mum instead of Mom, but I guess that‘s acceptable to snobby American ears for some reason. 5mo
GingerAntics #canadian #midwest #ErinMoon I am so happy she came back to do the second book, because she was awesome in the first, especially since the character is CANADIAN!!! 5mo

This one was SO cute. It's a coming-of-age story told through the perspectives of people (and their kitchens) who are all connected in some way to the main character. It's a foodie dream and so so charming. 🤍

Rachel.Rencher @Prairiegirl_reading I was craving them the whole time I read that chapter 🤤 8mo
kspenmoll Read this when I was visiting my sister in Omaha. Not quite midwest but close enough! It is a fun book! 8mo
Rachel.Rencher @kspenmoll Isn't Omaha considered to be part of the Midwest? 8mo

I am such a mood reader that I have to have 5 books ready for when I finish my current read (tagged book). If you couldn't tell, I am LOVING having a laid back summer vacation. It's the first one where I haven't had to move to a new apartment/house or teach summer school, and it's really making the insanity I deal with at school all year worth it.
So, I'm going to go enjoy my 2nd cold brew of the day on my porch and read my little heart out. 🤍📚

LiteraryinPA That is so exciting for you!! 8mo
kspenmoll I am soooo happy for you! My last summer teaching was in 2021 & I have been able to relax, refresh, renew myself before the next school year. Priceless! 8mo
Suet624 Sounds delightful. 8mo
