As you know, last month, I departed considerably from my October TBR. But although I did not read any Halloweed-themed works, I am happy with the books I read. Without further ado, here’s what I read:
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende – π π π π
Baby by Patricia Machlachlan – π π π π π (A beautiful but heartrending book. If you have ever experienced the death of a child I warn you that this may be unbearably painful to read.)
Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer – π π π π
Practice in Christianity by Anti-Climacus (pseudonym of Soren Kierkegaard) – π π π
I Believe in the Holy Spirit, Vol II by Yves Congar- π π π π π
Hard Times by Charles Dickens – π π π π
Note #1: If you are interested in reading my reactions to the Christian works I read, feel free to follow me on Goodreads. I do not review them on this blog but I do try to write a full review of each book on Goodreads.
Note #2: I sometimesΒ give 5 star reviews for books that I later decide should have received 4 stars. Therefore, smiley face ratings on this blog are not always consistent with my ratings on Goodreads. In general, if I give a book 4 or 5 stars/smiley faces, I highly recommend it. In contrast, I hardly ever change my mind about 2 or 3 star books.
November Plans
Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather (currently reading and loving)
La NausΓ©e by Jean-Paul Sartre
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Biography by Eberhard Bethge (It’s massive, so I doubt I will finish it in November).
Perelandra by C.S. Lewis (I should have read this one last month for the Dead Writer’s Society, but I didn’t.)
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
Happy November reading!
