The Gilded Ones
I 1000% proudly admit that I bought The Gilded Ones, by Namina Forna, solely for the cover: I was completely drawn in by the complex possibilities of this warrior woman! not merely a YA, this book tugs you deep into the world. I loved how intricate the history, theology, and orthopraxy of this world isContinue reading “The Gilded Ones”
Eager
The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers & Why They Matter my favorite podcast is Omnibus, by Ken Jennings & John Roderick. the topics covered on their show are broad and wide, and I’ve read several books inspired by an episode. this latest in my ever-expanding list of “books I read because they covered or referencedContinue reading “Eager”
Spellmaker
Charlie Holmberg’s latest book came out last week! Spellmaker completes the Spellbreaker duology. I love Charlie’s books for the setting, the rich magical details, the strong characters, and the fun. this was up to par! Spellbreaker + Spellmaker are set in England, in a parallel universe, where magic is highly regulated by the government —Continue reading “Spellmaker”
When No One is Watching
I have a love-hate relationship with thrillers. I love them when they’re done well, keep me guessing, or have a subplot that heightens the intrigue or the dramatic relationship unfolding. I hate them when they make me stay up until 3am finishing a book, and when I feel things are left unsettled within the book.Continue reading “When No One is Watching”
three books, one sunday
I finished three books today that I’ve been slowly working through. One is for my spiritual direction training program, and we have a group meeting this coming weekend, so I spent the morning prepping for discussions with my cohort. I finished Holy Listening by Margaret Guenther. she writes so compellingly about spiritual midwifery, and IContinue reading “three books, one sunday”
The Shadow Rising
I first read these books in high school + there’s something about coming back to a series half a lifetime later. they are familiar + known, I’m not surprised as the story unfolds. yet I know I’m different, now, for all the books + life+ love + loss that’s come since I was 15. “IContinue reading “The Shadow Rising”

lent ii
Today is the second Sunday in Lent. I often give something up for Lent. I have enough of a disordered approach to food that I do not do well when I cut out foods or drinks (one year in college I cut out caffeine, and never again. My poor professors and friends!). In the pastContinue reading “lent ii”
