Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church | N. T. Wright

Congratulations @cobwebmoth on reaching 1,000+ followers! Thank you for paying it forward with the #surprisedgiveaway!! I‘m not sure if there‘s any one particular book that surprised me but since I found Litsy I am surprised that after suffering from depression on and off for years, I have found joy in reading again. For many years, all I could do was listen to audiobooks. Now I practically am devouring every book I pick up. Continued in comments.

The Memory of Things | Gae Polisner

pick

In honor of the lovely #surprisedgiveaway hosted by @cobwebmoth I‘m giving a shout out to The Memory of Things. This book is about a teenager‘s experiences on the day of 9/11 and the week that followed, and I subconsciously avoided it for years because I wasn‘t sure I‘d be able to handle it. I was surprised. Yes, it was raw and emotional, but I‘m glad I read it. It was sensitively done and an important read. I recommend it for adults and teens.

cobwebmoth Thanks for entering! 7y

Eggs I read this too💕 7y

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine | Gail Honeyman

Congratulations, @cobwebmoth ! I was rather anxious when I started reading this book, because I wasn't sure where it was going, and I worried it would be too dark for me. But I ended up pleasantly surprised by a story I couldn't tear myself away from and characters I cared about.

Fingersmith | Sarah Waters

Congrats, @cobwebmoth !
This book surprised me with its twists and then continues to surprise me with how many people it “clicks” with when I recommend it. I gave it to my sister-in-law (knowing she‘d love it) but then her middle-aged husband randomly picked it up and took it to work on an oil rig in northern Canada. I laugh whenever I think of this burly, bearded man enthralled with a Victorian-era lesbian romance. He loved it!

This is one of my favorite books, but I think it surprised me in how it was funny, sad, and loving all at the same time! Everyone needs to read it!

Thatpartyhat I started it but had to give it back to the library. The struggles of reading too many fantastic things at once! Time to reorder it from the library! 7y

Cconnolly @Thatpartyhat , I really enjoyed my time with the main character, probably one I would re-read! 7y

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things: A Novel | Bryn Greenwood

Congratulations to @cobwebmoth for reaching 1,000 followers, and thank you for hosting the #SurprisedGiveaway 😄

I had picked up All The Ugly and Wonderful Things based on all the love it was getting, but had no idea what to expect. While it tore my heart into two, I loved every word. 💔

cobwebmoth Thanks! I've heard good things about this one. 7y
