Tuesday marks the beginning of Winter – the long days that seem to feel more like long nights, the hibernation that tries to sink into the soul, but also the warm cups of cider, cocoa, coffee, and tea and snacks of countless baked goods. Here are a few of the books I’m hoping to read this quarter:

• Letters from Father Christmas, by J. R. R. Tolkien, edited by Baillie Tolkien
• Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson
• Sensing God: Experiencing the Divine in Nature, Food, Music & Beauty, by Joel Clarkson
• The Life Giving Table: Nurturing Faith Through Feasting, One Meal at a Time, by Sally Clarkson

I’m almost finished with the following from my Upcoming Reads – Autumn 2021 list:

• The First Four Years, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
• The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, by Washington Irving
