#60. EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES AND EUCHARISTIC PHENOMENA IN THE LIVES OF THE SAINTS by Joan Carroll Cruz || ★★★★☆
Simply written and packed with facts, I really enjoyed this book about Eucharistic miracles throughout the ages. I often found myself Googling the miracle after reading it, so I could see the pictures up close. (The next best thing to going to visit on pilgrimage, I guess!) The faith of the people throughout history was greatly inspiring to me and I know I experience the Mass in a deeper way because of their example. (This was also my 1991 pick for the 20th Century Reading Challenge.)
#61. MADE FROM SCRATCH: DISCOVERING THE PLEASURES OF A HANDMADE LIFE by Jenna Woginrich || ★★★★☆
This is the kind of book I wish I had read back when I lived in suburbia and was dreaming about acreage. Very much an encouraging, “start where you are” story that is a mix of memoir and helpful beginner’s tips. 3.5 stars, rounded up.
#62. FOLLOW THE RIVER by James Alexander Thom || ★★★☆☆
I’m not sure what I was expecting going into this book – maybe a cozy little historical based in the mid-18th century? Oh no no. This book was intense! The story was compelling, but the gruesome and violent parts were hard to read.
#63. THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW by A.J. Finn || ★★★☆☆
This thriller/suspense novel about a woman struggling with agoraphobia was definitely a page turner. I predicted most of the twists but there were a few surprises there too.
