Spem in alium

So Spem has come up with our first completed book of the summer-- well done!  I can't understand WHY books on St. Joseph might be interesting to you.   :rolleyes:  And thanks for the info on Markus Zusak -- author of The Book Thief!  Thank you!

 

Hehe, I know -- completely incomprehensible.  :hehe2: No problem! He's a cool guy.

@Annline I might start a new book (have to wait till tomorrow to see if I'll have the extra money to get one)  If not, I'll stick with the Life of St .Gertrude, its by her and her sisters.

A good challenge book for me would be something on the Second Vatican council 

 

Maybe this one https://tanbooks.benedictpress.com/index.php/page/shop:flypage/product_id/26/keywords/inside+vatican/

 

Anyone familiar with this one?

My first completed book this summer:
The Diary of St. Faustina (644 pages).
I highly recommend this book. It's sort of draining, but definitely worth it.

My challenge book that I'm currently reading: The Fire Within by Fr. Dubay
