Like everybody, I have a long list of books that I have been meaning to read. I have another list of books I am in the middle of reading. Yes, I am one of those people that have one book that I am reading at home, another at work to read at lunch, and then there is always an audio book on my iPod. And then, there are the books that I have actually read. So, here’s a quick round up.
Passing Love by Jacqueline Luckett. It’s a lovely, romantic novel. If we ever get some snow this winter, I would recommend curling up with this in front of the fire with a nice hot chocolate.
Contents May Have Shifted by Pam Houston. I have been hearing Pam Houston read from this for years and now it’s finally out. It’s a hard book to summarize, but I’ll try. This is a collections of vignettes about her live and loves as she travels all around the world. See, that doesn’t do it justice. Trust me. It’s really good. And, I am in it, as myself. (My first cameo!)
Body and Soul: The Black Panther Party and the Fight Against Medical Discrimination by Alondra Nelson. I gave this to my dad for Christmas.
After the Altar Call: The Sisters’ Guide to Developing a Personal Relationship With God by Jacqueline Holness. I am trying to branch out and read more non fiction and spiritual works. I am also interested in just hearing the stories of women who have had so many different experiences with the church.
A Gathering of Waters by Bernice MacFadden. It’s a new look at the story of Emmit Till. Very creatively rendered. NPR is doing backflips.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It’s a memoir and basically everyone in the entire twitterverse is madly in love with it.
Creatures Here Below by O.H. Bennett. I think I need more books by brothers in my life.
Okay, that’s all for this list. I’ll update every month. And after I finish the books, I will post my thoughts on Goodreads. Tell me, what’s on your TBR list?
