The Innocence of Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton.
I started watching Father Brown on Netflix because I was sad and it made me happy. I thought I’d read the stories, even know that they are very different. I was a big Sherlock Holmes fan as a kid, so this works fine for me.
Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton
Because when you read one book by an author you have to find all the books in the family library by the same author, that’s how that works, right?
Pardon And Peace: A Sinner’s Guide to Confession, by Fr. Francis Randolph
I’ve been reading this while I sit in line for Confession. It’s immensely practical and encouraging for a Catholic wanting to go to Confession or back to Confession. It has been so, so helpful.
Mary Poppins, P. L. Travers
This was one of my all-time favorites, not just this one but the whole series. I love the movie as well, but the books were really special to me. My dear husband took me to see the new film for my birthday and I enjoyed it very much, so I am re-reading it.
Outside Over There, Maurice Sendak
A spiritual sister to Where the Wild Things Are. It’s more elusive and pretty than its sister but not as strong. I love it, though. It has a little taste of my favorite movie Labyrinth. Goblins steal away the little sister of a dutiful daughter. The illustrations are beautiful.
