Books of the Month
I didn't read that many books this month, but the ones I read were all so good! It was hard to pick a favorite, so much so that I can't pick just one. My favorite reads this month were:
- Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. Brosh writes a wildly popular blog, also called Hyperbole and a Half. I've followed her blog for a while now, and I was anxiously awaiting her first novel. This book was excellent: funny and poignant. Brosh describes living with depression like no one else I've ever read. Her clever illustrations made the book even more fun to read.
- In the Field of Grace by Tessa Afshar. I've been a fan of Afshar's since her first book, Pearl in the Sand, and her writing keeps getting better and better. In the Field of Grace was Christian historical fiction at its absolute best.
- Little Mercies by Heather Gudenkauf. This book was unforgettable, with realistically flawed characters, heart-wrenching situations, and a powerful premise. This is my first time reading Gudenkauf, but certainly not my last.
Check back soon for reviews of these outstanding novels!
