Heft by Liz Moore



Decent. I liked how it wasn't quite Hollywood but was hopeful. But still.

Injustice by Lee Goodman



So this was an enjoyable read with good twists and turns but then the end was completely over-the-top.

Corridors of the Night by Anne Perry



This wasn't perfect--I don't need that much description of multiple emotions playing across someone's face. But I always appreciate Perry's unusual pacing.

Seven Women by Eric Metaxas



One of the best books I've ever read. (One of the worst introductions I've ever read.) Inspiring and powerful.

The Last Week by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan



This is a great introduction to the story of Jesus' last week.

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan



I'm completely embarrassed by how much I enjoyed reading this.

All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor



Have I mentioned that I've been leading Truman's book group for the last year? Anyway, this was our first title for this school year. It's a charming story.

The Admissions by Meg Moore

The Admissions: A Novel

This wasn't perfect, but it was very, very good. It helped that it was evocative of Marin County and Rhode Island--both places I've lived.
