Better World Books Bonanza

I received three packages of books from Better World Books in today’s mail.  Jim had his arms full when he came back from the mailroom!  I don’t know where to start!  All of these books were on my To Read list from Goodreads and were unavailable from the library.  Or in one case, I had returned the Winan book to the library and thought it was worth buying so I could read it at my leisure and underline it.  

Maybe I’ll start with the shortest one by Athill.  Although I wonder if I had read it before. I don’t consider these purchases a waste because I can donate the books to the library when I have read them or rejected them.  

———-I read the Florence Diary by Athill and found it a pleasant easy quick read.  I rejected the book by Maloy—too much drama—in first chapters, two CPR events and then looking at end, a gun incident.  I liked the biography of Joan Chittister—really more than an account of one women’s life because it is the story of the big changes in convents in the 20th century.
