Monday Recommendation List

Random list of 10 books Monday! I have read and enjoyed each of these enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase.

Be bold and just choose randomly, stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

Wandering

Wandering: Notes and Sketches by Herman Hesse

My feelings on Hesse’s work are hard to articulate. He imparts emotion so clearly, in an elegant and beautiful style. His words are able to touch me on a deeply spiritual level.

One of the many quotes I love…”The way to salvation leads neither to the left nor the right: it leads into your own heart, and there alone is God, and there alone is peace.” Simple and so meaningful to my own wandering. This one quote sums up all of my feelings on religion and spirituality. In one simple sentence!!

Definitely a recommend. An addition to my personal collection and one I will read again and again.
