It’s hard to believe the summer is drawing to a close. Between work adventures and out of state trips to see friends, it has been an absolute whirlwind for me—and while that has wreaked havoc on my posting schedule, surprisingly, it has not wreaked the same havoc on my reading. Thanks to some lovely audio books, some very poorly timed traffic jams, and a surprise gift from a dear cousin, I’m actually within range of meeting my goal this year. So without further ado, here are the books that have been keeping me entertained and educated over the past few months.

Silent Souls Weeping
Jane Clayson Johnson’s Silent Souls Weeping helped me feel gain a better understanding of depression and anxiety.

Rimwalkers
This was my favorite book when I was in middle school, and I thought it would be fun to read it again and see if the magic is still there.

Business Boutique
Even after attending SBA courses, Christy Wright’s Business Boutique is the best resource I have ever seen for starting a small business.

Eve and the Choice Made in Eden
Beverly Campbell makes a convince agument that the chronic mistreatment of women stems from an incorrect understanding of Mother Eve.

Badluck Way: A Year on the Ragged Edge of the West
Badluck Way was my conservation ranching dream written out in beautiful, evocative prose, and I ate it up.

The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession
I really enjoyed the movie version of The Big Year, so I was excited to learn that it was a book first.

A Monster Calls
Despite the simple writing, Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls packs some heavy punches.

Keturah and Lord Death
An expertly written story with beautiful world building that ultimately left me feeling a little dissatisfied.
