Burying the Moon by Andrée Poulin

Eye-opening book written in verse. This story awakens you to the reality of too many women around the world.

This was such a relaxing read! It does move at a slow pace, but I still found myself reaching for it whenever I sat next to the stack of books that I’m currently making my way through. It was just what I needed right now. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
Watch for the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas by Thomas Merton, Annie Dillard, Dietrich Bonhoeffer
3.75
Enjoyable read during Advent and Christmastide. Some readings were better than others, which is to be expected I guess. I did like it overall and will probably make this a yearly read. I can see how some readings will hit differently each year depending on life circumstances or world situations.

Truly enjoyed this one! I loved the cat’s point of view. I loved the focus on relationships, human and animal. There’s much to love about this beautiful, touching story. As soon as I finished it, I passed it on to my 16-year-old, who read it in a day and absolutely loved it.
