The Eight Doors of the Kingdom: Meditations on the Beatitudes by Jacques Philippe
marred by culture war nonsense, as are most “spiritual” books being published rn, and it’s such a boring choice
Christ the Conqueror of Hell: The Descent Into Hades From an Orthodox Perspective by Hilarion Alfeyev
this is basically just a primary source reader of the Church fathers on the subject, which is perfect, it’s exactly what I wanted
Mother Maria Skobtsova: Essential Writings by Maria Skobtsova, Richard Pevear
I have been rereading this for ten years and I will never exhaust her genius
Prisoner: My 544 Days in an Iranian Prison--Solitary Confinement, a Sham Trial, High-Stakes Diplomacy, and the Extraordinary Eff by Jason Rezaian
wasn’t expecting this book to be so… funny???
The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean
this was great, but about 2/3 of the way in, I was like, yknow, I really don’t need to know this much about orchids.
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
5.0
a perfect book. I try to drag out reading her books so I can stay in them longer but I never manage. got through this in less than 24 beautiful hours. a PERFECT BOOK
Off the Edge: Flat Earthers, Conspiracy Culture, and Why People Will Believe Anything by Kelly Weill
I picked up the book because I knew the author in college, but it actually turned out to be a really good choice for a media apostle in training. Anyway, ban youtube.
