The start of a new year brings many thoughts of new goals and aspirations and intentions. Whether we take steps to achieve any of them is another matter.
Among the goals and intentions that I set for myself is a new reading list. I enjoyed my fall list, and now ask what books I might read between now and June.
Here’s what I hope to get to:
- The Grief Nurse by Angie Spoto
- The Wandering Mind: What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction by Jamie Kreiner
- A Pastoral Rule for Today: Reviving an Ancient Practice by John P. Burgess
- A Different Kind of Fast: Feeding Our True Hungers in Lent by Christine Valters Paintner
- Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human by Cole Arthur Riley
- Pond Water by Brenda Biddix and Rian Mileti
- On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
- The Queen of the Ring: Sex, Muscles, Diamonds, and the Making of an American Legend by Jeff Leen
This one’s kind of all over the place. I like when that happens.
What books are you planning to start the year with?
Here are a few recommendations if you need them.
