Joyce Meyer - Straight Talk Overcoming Emotional Battles With The Power Of God’s Word.
Also Joyce Meyer- Managing Your Emotions Instead of Your Emotions Managing You.
 
P.S., I Love You by Cecelia Ahern.

My best friend gave it to me to read, it being her favorite book. I’m enjoying it so far, but it’s kind of sad.
 
Cultural Literacy by E.D. Hirsch

Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
(my husband, the russophile, has only been asking me to read this for 5 years or so…)
 
Friends,
You guys read some deep stuff. I am a mommy of a 2year old so sometimes it is hard to find time to read!!! I love to read though. I want to read catholic books about the faith etc but I also like to read mysteries. How do you “muli-readers” balance how often you read what book? 🤷
Right now I am reading Silent Grave ( a historical mystery) but I just bought some books on St. Faustina. I have checked out Silent Grave about 3 times and am only 100 or so pages in.
help:confused:

Have you ever read G.K. Chesterton’s Father Brown mysteries? I’ve not read them myself, but I really do like Chesterton’s other stuff. I think that might be what you’re looking for.

I heard about the movie a few months age thats coming out with Viggo Mortensen in it, so I borrowed the book from the library. It’s interesting so far, but a bit disturbing.
