Published in April of 2022, Hello Molly is the autobiography of Molly Shannon of SNL and movie fame.
After reading this, so much made sense about Molly Shannon. Her energy, her almost reckless self endangerment… It makes a lot of sense now…
It did serve to deepen the divide in how I think verses others.
It wasn’t bad.
Published in January of 2021, The Four Winds is the story of a woman and her kids leaving the farm in Texas during the dust bowl and heading to California. Things didn’t work out like they planned.
I read this book because our church’s adult women put it out there as their book club pick. In short, I didn’t like it. It was reading the Grapes of Wrath again but this time with an empowerment story complete with a worthless husband.
I wasn’t a fan.
Published in November of 2020, Forgiving What You Can’t Forget is a book about moving on from trauma.
I enjoyed this book and even referred someone in my church to it. It is so hard to let the Savior in and allow that change of heart to happen. (Particularly when there has been injury.)
It’s worth the read
Published in 2007, A Darkling Plain is set 6 months after Infernal Devices. Hester is presumed dead as is the Stalker Fang. The world is getting ready for the last war.
This was a good resolution and I love what happened to Shrike at the end in particular.
You have to finish it…
Published in September of 2022, Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter is the biography of our 39th President and his wife.
At over 900 pages, I had been working on this book for some time. Most of it happened well before I was born but it was a pleasure to learn some of the backstory and gaps in my knowledge.
This bio seemed to be pretty balanced and was exhaustive.
If you can stick with it, do it!
First published in March of 1830, The Book of Mormon is the cornerstone book of scripture for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is meant to go hand in hand with the Bible to bring all people to Christ.
I like to put this in here every now and then when I finish the book. I read a little bit out of it every day so I finish it about once every 8 months or so. Love it or not, it has done me a world of good.
Read it! You won’t regret it.
Published in January of 2023, What it Means to Be a Man is a book by retired Majoy General Bill Mullen.
I used to work for General Mullen and I devoured this book when I saw it came out. It gave me a few things to think about but really was a reflection of the man he is.
Good book. Particularly if you are raising sons.
