- Bones of the Master: A Journey to Secret Mongolia by
George Crane. Finished 7/3. This was a beautiful book about a beautiful
man, Tsung Tsai, and an American on a lark who ends up finding much
more than just a good time. Notable quote: "He is a
monk and that is enough. They beat him but he doesn’t care. If they
knock him down he stands again and blesses them. He has only compassion
for them, only love and sadness for the world" (134).
- Hannah’s Daughters by
Marianne Fredriksson. Finished 7/7. This was a sad book, often painful,
but also a triumphant book about mothers and daughters and generations
and how so much of who we are is carved not only by our mothers, but by
our grandmothers experiences even though we may never hear those
stories. Connections, that is the key concept, and a way to finding
compassion for things about our family that we may not understand.
- Four Forges by Jenna Rhodes. Finished 7/29. I took it back to the library today and can’t for the life of me remember what the name was [found it at the library!]!
This was a good read, something fun with enough serious issues to make
it thought provoking, I’ll have to find out what it was called or it
will drive me crazy.
