Or finished reading.
The non-fiction I've been reading takes longer to finish than fluffy fiction. And that's okay. I have over 1000 non-fiction books inventoried, and two more sections (kitchen and sewing room) with non-inventoried books, so probably closer to 1300 books total. By contrast, I have about 400 fiction books on my shelves. Anyway, the point is that I have lots of books to read! And I'm working to read all the unread non-fiction on my shelves. It's an exercise in discipline.
On to the list for March:
1. Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery; way too long since I'd read it and I didn't remember anything, so much different from the 1985 TV adaptation.
2. The Department of Sensitive Crimes by Alexander McCall Smith; a new (2019) series about a Swedish detective; interesting, fun, witty and wise.
3. Purity and Passion by Wendy L. Watson PhD; well written book about marital intimacy. Opened my eyes to the whys behind some of my challenges.
4. A Year of Living Kindly by Donna Cameron; 52 short chapters about her year long adventure of living a deliberately kind life. Eye opening and encouraging.
5. The Golden Thread - How Fabric Changed History by Kassia St. Clair; fascinating, well documented. One of those books that makes one want to learn more!
6. Montana Women Homesteaders - A Field of Ones Own, Edited by Sarah Carter; reading this caused feelings of gratitude to well up in me for my totally easy life with all the modern luxuries. What a group of brave, hard working women!
7. Saints Vol 2 - No Unhallowed Hand, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; once I got started I couldn't put it down. So many wonderful accounts of saints building the Kingdom. Again, many feelings of gratitude for their faithfulness, hard work and sacrifices.
Not so many this month, but those I read (or finished) were thought provoking and informative, as well as great reads.
What are you reading these days?
