I have a habit of reading seven or eight books at the same time. I really try to just read one fiction and one nonfiction at a time, but that never happens. It starts with two books, and before I know I’ve got a stack I’m reading. Here’s what I’m reading now.
Non-fiction
10 Lies the Church Tells Women J. Lee Grady
Jesus as Mother: Studies in the Spirituality of the High Middle Ages (Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UCLA) by Caroline Walker Bynum
Reading the Women of the Bible: A New Interpretation of Their Stories by Tikva Frymer-Kensky
The Answer: Grow Any Business, Achieve Financial Freedom, and Live an Extraordinary Life by John Assaraf and Murray Smith
Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House by Cheryl Mendelson
Fiction
The Enchantress of Florence: A Novel by Salman Rushdie
In a Glass Darkly (Oxford World’s Classics) by Sheridan Le Fanu
Quite the collection, huh? What are reading?
