2020 Books Read
Here's what I read in 2020 (regularly updated throughout the year).
Catechist Resources
This is a listing of catechist resources I've found helpful over the years. Hope it helps you!
Marian Resources
My devotion to Mary has grown over the years, and since I've been getting an increasing number of requests for my favorite Marian recommendations, here you go.
My Books
In the early mornings and sometimes in the evenings, if I haven’t gotten to it yet, I’ve been doing this consecration to St Joseph. Loving it!!! #ahouldhaveturnedonalight #butitsearly #catholicbookstagram #stjoseph #catholicreads #bookview #morningreading
Delightful resource, which I read straight through but which could be sampled and dipped into quite easily. Lots of great suggestions and it got me thinking...I can see this as a great gift for new Catholics or confirmandi, a resource for those who feel a little ragged and tired, a boost for those who want something accessible and doable.

I feel like I could learn so much...if only I could get things in focus...

Four books I loved from my December reading, with details up on the blogaroo (snoringscholar.com):
📚 The Saint Monica Club, by Maggie Green
📖 How To, by Randall Monroe (and I am STILL laughing and I SHOULD OWN THIS BOOK)
📙 Thus Sayeth the Lord, by Julie Davis
📒 Jane of Lantern Hill, by L.M. Montgomery (because @moyerginny said so)

It took a month, which included some travel and some “time off” reading, so it was less than I expected. I’d say it was very Russian, but I’m not sure I know just what that means. I’m also pretty sure a lot of this slipped past me, but I enjoyed it and I’ll revisit it someday. Definitely a study in human nature and shaking your head (some things never change...). #brotherskaramazov #readingtheclassics #doorstopreads #firstbookof2020

Oh, I so enjoyed this. And I think LM Montgomery is one of my favorite authors. I love her characters and the way she writes about nature.
