March Favorites
The Year of My Humiliation by C.J. Sursum
This reminded me of The End of the Affair. It explored issues of faith and morals without tying things up neatly in a bow, and the somewhat unreliable first-person narrator worked so well.
Everybody's Favorite Guy by Katherine Center
This short story was an enjoyable second chance romance to transition from winter to spring.
Good Writing by Neal Allen and Anne Lamott
I love Anne Lamott's books, and this collaboration with her husband gives some solid writing advice that I found practical as well as entertaining.
