Wrapping Up February 2022

Highlights from Books Completed This Month

📚 Live Without You by Sarah Grace Grzy – Contemporary Christian Fiction/Clean Romance

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐ on this re-read, but leaving it at 5 because I’ve rated it that way more than once in the past.

📚 The Comeback by E.L. Shen – Middle-grade Contemporary Fiction

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Average Rating: 4.5 ⭐s

Other Books Read (but not completed) This Month

• The Common Rule by Justin Whitmel Earley – Nonfiction, Theology, Christian Living
  • This was a reread that I simply decided I wasn’t up for after the first chapter.
• How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler – Nonfiction, Literature
  • I’m reading this for school, but had thought about reading even the parts that are not assigned on my own. After a little extra reading I decided I don’t have time for that. I did purchase the book though (previously I had a copy checked out from the library), so I’m sure I will go through it all eventually.
• Metaliteracy by Thomas P. Mackey and Trudi E. Jacobson – Nonfiction, Literacy, Education
  • Another school book that I am really enjoying!
• Promoting Individual and Community Health at the Library by Mary Grace Flaherty – Nonfiction
• The Wrong Jesus: Fact, Belief, Legend, Truth…Making Sense of What You’ve Heard by Greg Monette – Nonfiction
  • Another re-read that I may or may not complete this time around.
