Is it Friday already?

Happy Friday to you!  Have you had a good week?  Do you have some exciting plans for the week-end?  It is upon us,  you know.

Last week-end was a busy time here with the UMW Mission u Event.  I have mentioned earlier that this was the book we studied.


There were four sections to the book, each one designed to help us look at our own spiritual journey.  The four topics were pray, listen, mentor, and transform.

While I spent time reading and studying this book, I have also had time to do some other reading.

 
This is a book of fiction, and it was the first one I've read by Anna Quindlen.  A piece of her writing was featured recently in an issue of Good Housekeeping, and I was motivated to try a novel.  I found this to be really enjoyable and would recommend it.

Another book I have read is this one


This is a memoir, also the first book I've read by this author.  It was also a writing in a Good Housekeeping issue that pointed me to her, and I am anxious to read her novels!

Reading has always been a favorite pasttime of mine, and I am happy to recommend these books to you!

I send along wishes for a happy Friday!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  5. I love reading reviews on books and this one reminds me of when I was a young mother. Suddenly, I saw my mom with new eyes. I gained more respect and admiration . It's like being a mother for the first time. You just don't get it till you experience it yourself.
    A good book to read, I would say.
    Have a great weekend...
    Hugs,
    JB

  15. Hey there soul sister! You followed me on Twitter recently based upon a comment I made to Susan Branch. I noticed today that your profile listed this blog. Wow. You've posted a lot! I see you are a cook and decorator. I am not. But I am a reader! I love Kelly Corrigan's books! I hope you've read them all. I've heard her speak twice and she is hilarious and serious at the same time. Amazing.
    I'm glad you have just returned to blogging! Writing and photography are so therapeutic. Check out PAWS Moments by Magnus Pym! Happy Valentine's Day new friend! There's some great stuff on your blog! ❤
