Barbara Brown Taylor and Jen Hatmaker bring us a question it’s such a joy to answer: What is saving your life right now?

The Reading List is a beautiful look at real life and how books help you through it.

I’m sharing writing at Sharing Our Stories: Magic in a Blog.

I loved No Cure for Being Human.

I’ve read so many fun books in October!

Fall this year feels normal, and yet not.

Fall break is fun…especially with library books.

The shift into fall has me taking stock and reflecting.

Doris Kearns Goodwin gives a unique spin on leadership and the presidency. Hear more on Paperback Readers.

I am learning about the kind of quiet that’s really necessary to my life.

Laurie Frankel’s One Two Three convicted me of my own flawed sense of justice. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.

Lately, I find myself often returning to my old favorite comfort reads.

I love the ways that Wendell Berry makes me think.

Reflection questions to help pay attention to summer.

Shauna Niequist’s Present Over Perfect consistently helps me re-think my life and how I want to live.

I love reading about food, so Cara Nicoletti’s Voracious is a win. I tried my hand at writing a similar essay on Katherine Center’s Everyone Is Beautiful.

John Green’s new essay collection, The Anthropocene Reviewed, is just as amazing as his fiction.

Summer this year is requiring a bigger reset than I planned.

Summer is a great time to reset old soundtracks, and Jon Acuff’s new books shows us how.
