[MAY] Book Review

I’m playing catch up but… I still wanted to document the books I read this year and my thoughts on each.
Clearly, May was heavy on books/reading!

   

Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Henry
       ★.75
          
      Becoming Mrs. Lewis is about poet and writer Joy Davidman, who writes a letter to
       C.S. Lewis (yes, THAT C.S. Lewis) seeking spiritual answers. Her marriage was
       crumbling so she wasn’t looking for love. Without giving too much away, a love
       develops that changes both Davidman and Lewis. If you like a good love story, but
       not the too-cheesy kind, this is it! Plus, it is C.S. Lewis so…

        Set in Scotland, The Bookshop on the Corner is about Nina, who loses her job as a

        librarian in a busy city. Soon, she moves miles away, buys a van, and converts it into
        a bookmobile. Her “literary matchmaker” title pays off as she soon starts helping
        patrons find books that they love, and they return for more. Along the way, she finds
        herself falling in love with her landlord (he sounds like he is my type of what I call
        “good-looking”). At one point, it seems she has fallen for a train conductor but I think
        it is more of a love for literature and poetry that they share more than anything. This
        is one of my favorite type of story -books and love, and a bit of traveling.

        Someone has sent invitations to Lexa, Jett, Chuck, Ed, and Carol. No one knows who

        sent the invitations and they think it is a practical joke. Yet, curiousity and loneliness
        bring them all back together each week. These weekly meetings help each one
        discover friendships and a love that helps heals their hearts.
