A Grief Observed

Title: A Grief Observed

Author: C.S. Lewis

Source: Own

My Review:

Well, I do not understand why this book is always recommended when someone is dealing with grief. As Madeleine L'Engle states in the foreword: Reading A Grief Observed during my own grief made me understand that each experience of grief is unique.

Stacking the Shelves #220 Sunday Post #217 Sunday Salon #211

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? We had a blast at the concerts last weekend, it was just what we needed. This was a hard week, lots of stress, and with drama in my book club, and the final word is that we dissolved it after three years. I will miss it, but I am thankful for the years we had. I have no idea what we plan to do this weekend (recover?), but I won't be posting next weekend, we will be in NC having a quick visit with my husband's family. What are your plans for the weekend?

Cool Beans

Title: Cool Beans

Series: Maya Davis #1

Author: Erynn Mangum

Source: Own

My Review:

Okay, I loved this book. Maya Davis is quirky and fun. She tells the truth with no filter. I love that she writes everything down on sticky notes. And, of course, her caffeine addiction amused me. Her friendship with Jack is fun and flirty (although she doesn't recognize that it is flirty).
