Library stack:
Hanspeter Nüesch: Ruth and Billy
Graham: The Legacy of a Couple
Why: Found this on our library's list of new
acquisitions as a Finnish translation and clicked myself into the
queue for it immediately. I've read Billy Graham's autobiography many
years ago, but not so much about Ruth Graham.
NB: This is not really a traditional
(chronological) biography; the book explores what Ruth and Billy
Graham thought and believed about various topics, how they put their
convictions into practice and what their legacy and influence has
been. Sounded very interesting to me.
Chris Hadfield: An Astronaut's Guide to
Life on Earth
Why: No idea how this ended up on my TBR
list, but I'm glad it did. It's mostly a memoir, and also a guide to
thinking like a good astronaut. ("Sweat the small stuff."
"Aim to be a zero." "What's the next thing that could
kill me?")
Daughters of Time (An Anthology from
the History Girls)
Why: I needed a book of short stories
for the HELMET reading challenge. This was one of the most
interesting that came up in my library database search: 13 stories,
historical fiction about girls/women based on real events, and all
written by different authors.
Other additions:
Laura Hillenbrand: Unbroken
This one moved into my stack now that
my husband has read it. It just has to wait until I get the library
books out of the way...
You'll love UNBROKEN. It was a little slow at first for me, but once you get past the first third, you move right along to find out what happens. I just brought the movie home from the library so I'm hoping to watch that on Sunday.
