I’ve only read one Jodi Picoult book–it was a YA one and sounds much lighter than her others based on your description. I read The How and the Why by Cynthia Hand in April and can highly recommend that book. Currently I’m reading My Lady Jane and absolutely loving the humor and characters.

I enjoyed The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. I used to visit Comer’s church years ago when I lived in Portland and was always captivated by the way he taught the Bible. This book came at just the right time and helped me think about not hurrying through this difficult season, but rather, allowing space for solitude, putting my phone away to enjoy the moment, and slowing down my pace. Timely advice indeed!

It sounds like you are reading books that are so pertinent to the time we are living in! There’s so many books out there so it helps to get reviews from other people as to what is actually beneficial to read!

lots of truth in that Wolf quote. I like what you shared about the Human kind book Been thinking about the value of showing up. Each day, each moment, being fully present even in a pandemic. And of course always kind. As always I love your book reviews!

Thank you for these thoughtful recommendations. I’ve found myself turning more to nonfiction books, especially memoirs, recently. I like the sound of The Art Of Living so will take a closer look at this one 🙂

Lisa, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry sounds like something most of us could benefit from. It’s easier for me now. But I told my children, “Hurry” way too much when they were young.

Hi Lisa, these books sound wonderful, and just right for the times we are living through. I particularly like the idea of embracing radical kindness, and I’d like to see how the author developed that in the book.

My…you do some deep reading:) I feel so juvenile with my reading choices!! The Art of Living, though, sounded like something two of my family members would really be interested in – I was excited to share it with them. Thanks (maybe they will think I’m smarter than a third grader)! 🙂
