Going to participate in #ValentinesDayReadathon thanks @ShananigansReads for hosting. I'm in San Diego for a wedding, but there will be some down time for me this weekend. So my goal is to finish at least one book this weekend. Probably not the tagged, I am enjoying this one but, for me, it is a little slower moving than the others in the series.
Make a great day everyone 💗
pickI so get the varied opinions on this one. Not a book for everyone. I, however, seem to be drawn to books lately about living in isolation (side effect of reading the news I am sure) and found that I really enjoyed this book about three monks who set out to find the island envisioned in a dream. It is slow but anxiety filled as you see them struggle with the elements and the requires blind obedience to a leader who does not deserve it.

pickThe sense of isolation and the double-edged sword of obedience are strong in this novel. The sound of the waves comes through the writing. The pace is slow, and the interactions are frustrating as we follow the development of relationships through hardship. I appreciate the reflective nature of this novel even as I'm not sure I would recommend it except in specific circumstances.

From my nightly read. #poetryandpsalms #nunlit #nunlitquarterly
The author attended the Benedictines‘ chanting of the Divine Office, which often included psalms.This brings to mind Louise Penny‘s book,The Beautiful Mystery.

#NFNovember, 2 books
Rereading Louise Penny because someone on Litsy said it was referenced in her latest book, The Grey Wolf- was it you Jill?
Actually finished both Historical Mysteries! Still listening to the audiobook.
pickI was reading the new Louise Penny book, but then it referenced this one so I hit pause on Grey Wolf and re-read this one. This is another good one from the early/middle part of the series, and I enjoyed it. Now back to Grey Wolf! (And yes you do get an explanation of the title.)
