The Library Book is a fascinating book. It details the terrible fire that consumed the Central Branch of Los Angeles Public Library in 1986, but it also serves as a love letter to libraries. It introduces the reader to a variety of different librarians from the past to the present and provides insight regarding how libraries work behind the scenes. I love this one!
The Ministry of Ordinary Places is a beautifully written call to action. We don’t have to travel to far off lands to show God’s love to others. We have the opportunity every day in the lives we are living. The Ministry of Ordinary Places is a wonderful reminder of the impact and influence each one of us can bring to this world. Through our words and actions within our own homes and neighborhoods we each have the potential to make a positive difference.

Erwin McManus explores the path to inner peace using a biblical framework. Each chapter focuses on a specific element of the the warrior’s code. Although written in an easy conversational tone, the subject matter is of depth. I found myself needing to pause to think and reflect upon the thoughts and ideas presented.

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is hilarious and heart-breaking. I really enjoyed this book. Eleanor is one of the most interesting book characters I have encountered in a long time. The continual unraveling of Eleanor’s real story as a sub-plot throughout the book makes for a suspenseful story that begs for you to keep reading.

The One in a Million Boy is a beautifully written novel. It chronicles the relationship between 104 year old Ona and an eleven year old boy scout who is assigned to help her with odd jobs around her house in order to earn a merit badge. With time, Ona and the boy develop a special friendship, but then the boy stops coming to her house to help. After a few weeks, the boy scout’s father appears at Ona’s home in order to finish his son’s work there. He ultimately explains that his son has died. As the boy scout’s parents get to know Ona they learn who their son really was and who they are as well. The One in a Million Boy is a touching book that is hard to put down once you start.
