Books Read in the Past Week

Books read for the first time are marked with a #

Books, (except Sunday books) are grouped by author, and not necessarily in the order read.

"Love God And Do What You Please"

by St. Alphonsus Liguori

[spiritual reading]
a favorite of mine; thank God it wasn't one of the books
lost when I moved!

"Least of All, Me"

by Sr. Anthony Marie, OSF

[Catholic fiction, based on fact]

{Sunday books}

Bible books(s) read this week:

"Galatians"
"Isaiah"

(This post explains my Bible-reading plan.)

{Also,  inspired by something I read in 

"The Way of a Pilgrim," I now
read one full Gospel every day, dividing each Gospel into several portions}
I found that this doesn't work for me;
so now I'm going to read one Gospel
a week.
