Today officially marks the first day of Summer! I had placed quite a few books on my Upcoming Reads – Spring 2021 list, but during that time life unexpectedly began to fill up again, and I discovered some other books that I decided must be read, so I was only able to get through a quarter of my previous list:

• By the Shores of Silver Lake, by Laura Ingalls Wilder (review here)
• The Life Giving Home: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming, by Sally Clarkson and Sarah Clarkson (review here)

Some of the books I hope to read (or finish reading) this quarter are:

• Awaking Wonder: Opening Your Child’s Heart to the Beauty of Learning, by Sally Clarkson
• Calm My Anxious Heart, by Linda Dillow
• In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart: Hope for the Hurting, by Ruth Graham, with Stacy Mattingly
• Lies Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets Them Free, by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
• The First Four Years, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
• These Happy Golden Years, by Laura Ingalls Wilder

I’m going to set aside and return later to:

• Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
• The Imperfect Disciple: Grace for People Who Can’t Get Their Act Together, by Jared C. Wilson
• Perelandra, by C. S. Lewis
• Sensing God: Experiencing the Divine in Nature, Food, Music, and Beauty, by Joel Clarkson
