| 1 | Truth as told by Mason Buttle, The | Leslie Connor | Even better the second time. Now hunting down others by this author. |
| 2 | Luster: a novel | Raven Leilani | A disappointing best book from NPR. Not a single character that I rooted for. Good writing, unlikeable story that made me feel “icky”. |
| 3 | Baptism for the Dead | Libbie Hawker | A reread of a Mormon wife losing her faith, and the comfort of heaven. |
| 4 | My Antonia | Willa Cather | An early classic about the backbone of America– immigrants and farmers. Glad I read it. |
| 5 | How God Became King | N.T. Wright | “Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilot”… Jesus’s life is more than a comma. Cross and Kingdom in the gospels. |
| 6 | Four Hundred Souls: A community history of African America, 1619-2019 | Ibram X. Kendi (editor) | Listening to borrowed audio was probably the worst format. Need to own hard copy and revisit. |
| 7 | The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After | Julia Quinn | The 2nd Epilogues of the infamous Bridgerton romances. |
| 8 | Captive Kingdom, The | Jennifer A. Nielsen | I’ve gotten tired of this character’s schtick on this 4th book but I’ll read the 5 anyway. |
| 9 | Dare to Disappoint: Growing Up in Turkey | Ozge Samanci | YA GN– a walk in Turkish shoes while coming to age as a “failure” and figuring it out. Excellent 1.5 hr read. |
| 10 | All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook | Leslie Connor | Oh, I am LOVING this author! More, more, more please. |
| 11 | Home for Dogs and Goddesses, A | Leslie Connor | Rounding out themes of family by this author. |
| 12 | Finding Langston | Lesa Cline-Ransome | The Great Immigration, a newly motherless boy from the South in Chicago. |
| 13 | Midnight Library, The | Matt Haig | Tickled my literary bone and my thinking brain. |
