I've read several titles on this list and found several others I'm intrigued by! I'm currently in the middle of reading "Break, Blow, Burn & Make" and loving it. I also thought "You Could Make This Place Beautiful" was phenomenal!

I read several memoirs that I can't stop thinking about or talking about: "The Many Lives of Mama Love" by Lara Love Hardin, "Recollections of my Nonexistence" by Rebecca Solnit, and "It Wasn't Roaring It Was Weeping" by Lisa-Jo Baker.

Wow! I’m so impressed by your reading skills. Good job!! You read so many books on writing, where would you recommend starting first?

Break, Blow, Burn, and Make is the writing book I would read first, though it didn't get into the technicalities of storytelling. For that, I would start with The Writer's Journey by Volger.

This is an impressive amount of reading! Well done! ❤️ a book I’m currently reading & enjoying is called The Mystics Would Like a Word: Six Women who met God & Found a Spirituality for Today by Shannon K. Evans.

I also have to say I’ve read Revealing Mary Magdalene and I did not love it. I felt like it was more about her story less about Mary Magdalene and I had to turn to other books to actually learn about Mary Magdalene.

I would agree that it was more of the author's story, and when I finished the book, I still wanted more information about Mary Magdalene.
