Come on over to RAnn's blog for Sunday Snippets, where Catholic bloggers like me share our posts.  I've found some wonderful blogs here.  How about sharing yours?

Semper Gaudete! : Books Read in the Past Week

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.
"Blueberry Muffins"

(Kindle book)
"Bobby in Movieland"
"Claude Lightfoot or How The Problem Was Solved"by Fr. Francis J. Finn, S.J.

"A Grand Man"
by Catherine Cookson
[fiction]
(Kindle book)
{carried over from last week}
It's been years since I've read the "Mary Ann"
books, and I was delighted to find them on Kindle.
Some of the books are available for free on openlibrary.org.

"The Funny Guy"
by Grace Allen Hogarth

[children's fiction]
In Joan M. Lexau's "The Trouble With Terry,"
Terry reads a book that is both happy and sad
about a girl named Helen who "always doing things
wrong, just like Terry."
I wonder if that book was "The Funny Guy."
It definitely fits the description!

"The Middle Button"
by Kathryn Worth
[YA fiction, historical, based on her maternal ancestors]

"A Live Coal in The Sea" #
by Madeleine L'Engle
[fiction]
(openlibrary.org loan)
I'd been meaning to read this book
for a long time.

"The Book of Festivals and Holidays
