20-22: Broken, Death, and Blooms

My last three books have been quite the interesting mix!

20.  The Broken Way by Ann Voskamp

This one I read this spring with my bible study group called Making Choices.  Meeting bi-weekly, this book also came with enrichment materials, including a study book and a video for each meeting.  I gained some powerful nuggets from this study:  we have to be broken...not to be remade, but to be reshaped into who we are to become.  Very powerful.

21.  Death Comes to  Pemberly by P. D. James

This one I read for the Paper Chase Book Club's monthly meeting, also as re-read for me, as we had chosen this one about four years for our faculty read.  I finished it wanting to read Pride and Prejudice!

22.  When the Morning Glory Blooms by Cynthia Ruchti

This one I read for the Women's Bible Cafe Online Book Club...just a few days late...as it was May's book!  Loved this book...when I finally got into it.  For several years, I have planted morning glories (have some sprouting now!) and will plant now with a new focus...and will attempt to harvest the seeds this fall.  Loved the intertwining stories of Becky, Ivy, and Anna.  Really good.

What have you been reading good so far this summer?  My pile is huge and my commitment to book clubs almost daunting...but exciting.  More to come!
