I was just scrolling through past posts and saw the March 13 one where I was trying to decide which book to finish first of the four I'd started.
Turns out the answer was not on the list.
I'm almost finished with two other books instead, which is probably a sign of some kind of ADHD, but ...
One is "Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion. It had been on my "hope I find it" list for used book sales since it came out a few years ago, but for the life of me I can't remember why. It's an easy read and fairly short but I don't know what would have drawn me to a memoir about the first year of widowhood. Although, I think I was similarly drawn to John Irving's "A Widow for One Year" but CHOSE not to finish it. Didion's I'm almost done with.
The other book is "What's So Amazing About Grace," by Philip Yancey. It's about forgiveness and God's grace and packs in a lot of historical and cultural references. It's a great read. How great? Well, I broke my (almost) inviolate rule and wrote in it (underlining and ***'ing passages).
Worse yet, when I didn't have pen at hand, I started dog-earring it.
But, it'll be worth it.
