1 // Strangers and Sojourners by Michael D. O’Brien
2 // Characters of the Passion by Fulton J. Sheen
I love Bishop Fulton Sheen’s writing (this post is about his book that I read for Lent last year) and think this little book will be perfect for Holy Week.
3 // Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield
This novel is a little out of my comfort zone since I don’t read a lot of magical realism. I totally picked it for the beautiful cover, ha!
4 // A Year Without a Purchase: One Family’s Quest to Stop Shopping and Start Connecting by Scott Dannemiller
I’m always looking for things to inspire and fuel my quest for simplicity and frugality and I hope this memoir will do just that.
5 // Peace Like a River by Leif Enger
This will be a re-read for me – it’s been on my mind since reading Ordinary Grace last month!
6 // There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather by Linda Akeson McGurk
I put this one on my 100 Little Things list and I’m anxious to finally dive in. This book comes highly recommended!
7 // The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach
I don’t remember how I acquired this personal finance book, but I’m curious enough to see what it’s all about. The reviews on Goodreads seem all over the place…we’ll see where I fall.
8 // Trials of the Earth: The True Story of a Pioneer Woman by Mary Mann Hamilton
I looooove pioneer novels. Reading about their hard work and struggles inspires me and really helps me put my suffering in perspective. I can’t wait to read this true story.
9 // The Collapse of Parenting: How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups by Leonard Sax, MD
I’m not a huge fan of most parenting books, but this one came recommended by a few different people, so I’m giving it a shot.
10 // The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs by Tristan Gooley
I’ve been slowly making my way through this one and it is so interesting! Lots and lots to learn.
I have Peace Like a River here for a reread.
I read it years ago and loved it – hoping I have a similar experience this time around!
I re-read PEACE LIKE A RIVER recently. I didn't like it quite as much on the second go-round, but it really is a beautifully-written novel. Enjoy!
Happy TTT!
Once Upon a River sure sounds interesting!
My TTT .
Many of these I need to add to my list!
I LOVED Once Upon A River and hope you do too!
That's encouraging to hear! I'm excited to read something a little outside of my comfort zone.
What a beautiful book stack!
Once Upon A River has a beautiful cover!

That color scheme really is lovely! The Year Without a Purchase looks really good, not to mention a timely read when all of us are already being encouraged to go out as little as possible (I guess people can still shop online, but I do most of my buying in stores, so I've found that a silver lining to this whole thing is that it's curtailing my non-essential retail habit).
On another note, I've been following your blog for about a month and while I need to get back in the habit of commenting, I just want to say I've found it really inspiring.
I need to move The Year Without a Purchase to the top of the list because you're right – it's perfect for our life right now.
P.S. Thank you so much for reading!
