Object of My Affection
by Jill Smolinski
View in Library Catalog
A humorous look at how a personal organizer convinces an elderly artist to divest herself of a houseful of objects she's been hoarding for years. At the same time, the organizer gets to see and understand the why the artist held on to things and why she, herself could not let go of some things in her life. I recommend the book as it really got into some of the whys of hoarding and was written in an uplifting way.
If God Loves Me, Why Am I Hurting?
by Daniel L. Segraves
View in Library Catalog
We all go through difficult moments in life and we become depressed and sometimes question God as to why he would allow us to go through such tough times. We refer to our difficult moments as suffering. The great good God of heaven allows us to suffer as we term it in order to make us strong in our faith in him, to cause us to trust him more. We prove God in our suffering because when he brings us through our suffering, we gain confidence in him. As one song writer states. If we never had a problem, how would we know that God can solve them.

What I liked about this book is that is very easy reading. If you are new to this series (streets), start with the first one in series.

You Never Forget Your First
by Alexis Coe
View in Library Catalog
This is a biography of George Washington covering his personal, military and political life concentrating on little known facts and debunking some that we have always thought true. It's a well written book, easy to read. I recommend it as it portrays Washington as a human, not perfect.

Normal People
by Sally Rooney
View in Library Catalog
A friend of mine suggested that I might like the Hulu series "Normal People." Upon hearing it was based on a book, I obviously had to go read the book first. I definitely understand why my friend recommended it. This is a coming of age story that explores a complicated relationship between two people as they navigate growing up and becoming adults. However, if you are looking for a happy, heart-warming story, this book is not for you. It's honest, tender, and heart-wrenching at times. Though there are sweet moments, I wouldn't call this a happy story, but that's okay. Overall I do not regret the time I spent reading this book. Just check with yourself first to make sure you're in the mood to feel a complex range of emotions.
