In reply to Beverley. One book at a time---there is a certain stillness in that. And until you get the rest of your boxes unpacked, that's probably enough to read anyway. :)

What’s on my night stand? The Return of the Native – Thomas Hardy and that’s it – I think everything else is in a box!

In reply to Carrie, Reading to Know. Glad to hear that about Frankenstein from you, Carrie! I've been surprised at how well I've liked it so far. I guess I thought I'd be having to force myself to read it, but I actually look forward to it. Who knew? ha. I read The Little Prince for your book club, not realizing it would go so fast. So I'm actually ahead. Wow.

I just loved Frankenstein! That was an unexpected and much enjoyed read for me.

I’ll be reading The Little Prince this coming month! Looking forward to it.

In reply to Cassandra. The Invisible Man was quite good--maybe also because it was short? ha. Some of these older classics can drag on and on, so I appreciate when words are concise. :)

I too really like Gary Chapman’s love languages. I should read some of his other books. And I really need to tackle The Invisible Man! My husband recently read it and recommended it to me. I hope you have great reading enjoyment in June!

In reply to Linda@Creekside. Oh, I love the timing of Being Mortal for you, Linda! I'm glad you got a lot out of the book too. I'm not surprised though. It's powerful!

In reply to Tonia. Yes, you definitely would enjoy A Wrinkle in Time with your daughter if she loves fantasy novels. You can go as deep with it (or not) as you want to!

In reply to floyd. Jeff comes and goes with reading too. He listened to Unbroken as the audiobook and loved it that way. Glad I'm not the only one who occasionally has to throw in the towel on a book. I need to do it more often! ha. Thanks, Floyd.

In reply to Jean Wise. The retreat will be wonderful, I'm sure! Exciting. I'm now going back through The Soul of a Pilgrim to digest it more. I want to spend more time in it, with God, over the next month and a half at least. Some backs are to be savored, yes? I know you understand that. :)
