My September reads are linked in my name if interested!

I like the title on this one too. He’s written several books in this genre: What If God Wrote Your To-Do List and What If God Wrote Your Bucket List. I haven’t read those, but I’d guess they are beneficial too.

Yes, I’m sure I would like Humble Roots! I’ll go look that up. Humility is something I always need more of; pride is like kudzu and always needs chopping down.

Well, I finished Afraid of All the Things last night. And while she did make a few good points, I didn’t get much out of it. 🙁 Maybe I was expecting too much. As one who is afraid of many things, maybe I’m just a hard case. 🙂 But I felt like it was mainly platitudes and that wasn’t helpful to me.

One book I just read which I think you might like is Humble Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul by Hannah Anderson. It’s such an original message: she says humility is an antidote to stress!

I see you’re reading All the Things! Can’t wait to hear what you think. It’s one on my list to read.

I’ve been on vacation this week with my husband, and I have been enjoying The Death of Mrs. Westaway—I have the kindle version from the library plus the audio version. 🙂 Overkill, I know. ha. The narrator is SO excellent with this one. It’s always fun to have a great read for vacation; hope you find the right book for you, Patsy!

I agree, Karen: anything that can reduce our thirst for materialism is needed. I’m glad the minimalist trend is still a thing. But I know the root of our problem is our heart’s longing for the wrong things that can never satisfy. The shopping list book was an easy read, but good food for thought nonetheless.

That is a lot of holds in your system, Linda! But also a LOT of copies. Our sweet little library has 11 copies and I thought that was a lot. 🙂

Yes, I know what you mean, Trudy; when I read about other introverts, I feel almost normal. lol. My hold time for Crawdads was over 6 months but eventually it happened and my turn came. 🙂

I had to wait a long time for Crawdads to become available. Seems like everyone has it on their hold list. And then when it did become available for my Kindle, the audio version also became available at the same time for my husband. I thought that was totally amazing! 🙂 I read it and he listened to it at the same time. Hope it comes soon for you, Rebecca.
