The Thursday Murder Club Mystery series, book 5 by Richard Osman. 2025. Accessed on Libby, narrated by Fiona Shaw. A delicious novel. Very engrossing. All characters are well developed and most had endearing qualities. Joyce was charming as usual. Her daughter, Joanna, has a more human side to her in this story: the story of her wedding to Paul. It turns out that Paul's friends have an interesting storyline that involves the Thursday Murder Club. Ron's son and daughter test the devotion of their father. Altogether a charming story.

A Time of Renewal
Daily Reflections for the Lenten Season. By Mother Mary Francis. P.C.C. 2015. "Mother Mary Francis, abbess of a Poor Clare Monastery for over forty years, left an enduring legacy in her writings...In this work she presents beautiful meditations on the liturgical season of Lent." Daily reading of the scripture for Lent and the reflections were a blessing to me during Lent.

Making the Best of What's Left
When We're Too Old to get the Chairs Reupholstered by Judith Viorst. 2025. Advice for the Final Fifth by best-selling author of the series, The Decades of a Woman's Life. A delicate balance of humorous antidotes and soulful observations of loneliness discovered in her acquaintances. A delight to read and to appreciate our mutual experiences even if we're not lucky enough to end up in a luxurious retirement center like the one that Viorst inhabits.
