Children’s and Young Adult Fiction:

Fallen Grace by Mary Hooper.
The Agency: A Spy in the House by Y.S. Lee.
I read these three historical VIctorian-era YA novels one after another, and my review of all three will be coming up soon. I’ll just say I rather enjoyed all three.
Edges by Lena Roy. Semicolon review here.

Adult Fiction:
Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton.
Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. Semicolon review here.

Nonfiction, History, Biography, and Memoir:
Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream by H.G. Bissinger. Semicolon review here.
Cannibals of the Heart by Jack Shepherd.
Praying for Strangers by River Jordan.
Choosing to See by Mary Beth Chapman. Semicolon review here.
Son of Hamas by Mosab Hassan Yousef. Semicolon review here.
Little Princes by Conor Grennan. Semicolon review here. This one was of particular interest because I know someone who lives in Nepal. It has become a small world in many ways, hasn’t it?
William F. Buckley by Jeremy Lott.
Righteous Indignation by Andrew Bretibart.
AfricaTrek: A Journey by Bicycle through Africa by Dan Buettner.

I read lots more nonfiction than fiction this month, unusual for me. I find myself impatient with fiction lately; a lot of what I’ve picked up lately seems so trivial and unsatisfying for some reason. My favorite book of the month? Praying for Strangers by River Jordan. It’s inspired me to start on my own prayer adventure, and I’m having a great time, praying for strangers (and friends) and conversing with the God of the Universe.
