No.227: TBR Tuesday // Trying Something New

This post contains affiliate links.

Trying something new for March!  I’ve never pre-picked my reading choices before, but I know it’s a popular idea.  My method has always been to browse my books and see what jumps out.  I’ve rarely fallen into a reading slump this way, but I’m thinking it may be fun to change things up.  I can’t promise that I will stick to this pile, but I’m going to try!  Here’s what I’ve picked out to read in March:

FOR LENT // Life of Christ by Fulton J. Sheen
For Lent this year, I have decided to read through Archbishop Sheen’s Life of Christ.  I divided up the chapters to last me until Holy Saturday, so I’ll only really get halfway before the end of March.  (I have a post about my reading plan coming soon.)


MYSTERY // The Likeness by Tana French 
Can’t wait to dive into the next book in the Dublin Murder Squad series!

MEMOIR // My Life in France by Julia Child
I found a copy of My Life in France at the thrift store – for $1, woo!  I’ve always been a little fascinated by Julia Child, so I’m excited to read about her life.


MODERN CLASSIC // The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene 
I started with this one on March 1st and am already almost halfway through.  So far, I would describe The Power and the Glory as really sad.  Even though it was written in 1940, I’m finding it really thought-provoking, especially with the current crisis in the Church right now.

MEDICAL NON-FICTION // Complications by Atul Gawande
I have so much respect for the honesty of this surgeon.  Looking forward to this one!  (Also available at Book Outlet here.)
