Daily Question, April 13

For which books am I truly grateful?

  • Pilgrim
    This is a big question, leading to many memories of all the years I have had my nose in a book. As a child, Nancy Drew, my first series. As an adult, and this is the absolute tip of the iceberg, I have read (more than once for all of these and others): To Bless the Space Between Us by John O'Donohue, Let your Life Speak by Parker Palmer, The Wisdom of Wilderness by Gerald May, Anne of Green Gables, Winter Solstice (I read this every year), An Interrupted Life by Etty Hillesum, The Butterfly's Da...

      So interesting Pilgrim! I will look into several of these books. We have Nancy Drew in common. I read every Nancy Drew book that I could get my hands on. I can imagine us as young girls, discussing the excitement of our newest Nancy Drew reads! 🤓🥰

      Pilgrim, have you read Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver? She’s one of my favorite authors and that novel centers on the monarch migration.

      • Pilgrim

        Yes, Barb, thanks for that reminder. I am going to look it up again, see if it is on my shelf, first. When I moved I had to donate SO many books for the downsize. Much appreciated!

  • EJP

    I am truly grateful for the Bible which provides guidance, answers, hope and love.

  • Kevin

    I am truly grateful for all of them, the ones I liked, and the shelf full of those I cherished. As for the ones I didn’t like, I am grateful that I am not required to read them again.

    • Mary

      😆 Yes, I remember a few books I read in high school and quickly determined that once was enough.

  • Michele

    All the Harry Potter books.
    Twilight ones.
    I’ll always remember my first series I read as a young girl- Flowers in the Attic.
    Now I’m reading Kristi Nelson’s Wake Up Grateful.

  • Christine

    I find it quite difficult to choose. I have closed so many books with a sigh of “how wonderful this book was”. When I was a child I loved to read “Alone in the World” by Hector Malot. The biography of Albert Schweitzer taught me to look with respect for all living things. That was an important book for me. Sufi books by Inayat Khan….. beautiful! I like to read novels and thrillers.
