You just broke down all my reasons for not reading Balthazar with this:

this one is the perfect read for someone without hours to devout to deep theological study, but wants something that can truly feed their faith and understanding. This is a very short book that looks at the problems plaguing the average Cath

Haha, it's pretty tough trying to get serious theological tomes into your daily reading habits!

I had high hopes for the North Woods, but ultimately, it rang a bit hollow (no pun intended!). The writing was expert, but I guess I expected something more from it. It had promise, but didn’t deliver for me. I’m all for odd books about nature, though!

Also, I would love to hear your thoughts about the latest Princess Catherine news!

I think you're bang on, it's not exactly a deep classic. I think if I had higher expectations I would have been disappointed as well, but I honestly just thought I'd take a shot on it and enjoyed it for its weirdness.

I ranted a lot on instagram about the reaction to the news about Princess Catherine, because I think it outrageous that no one was apologizing for spreading lies about a young mom with cancer! I also do want to take a victory lap about being right. She's not a robot and she's alive.
