Our God: A Shapes Primer
Board book by Danielle Hitchen.
I liked the concept of seeing shapes in every day objects that are symbolic of God (rock, light, bread, fortress, etc)
The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Mystery Book by Stuart Turton. This was a thoroughly original and engaging take on the murder mystery genre. In addition to keeping me guessing, the author managed to weave in themes of agency vs. determinism, integrity, redemption, and forgiveness. “We are never more ourselves than when we think people aren’t watching.” “Tomorrow can be whatever I want it to be…. A chance to be braver or kinder, to make what was wrong right. To be better than I am today.” Note: there is quite a bit of violence depicted, drug and alcohol abuse, and one instance of implied casual sex. None of it is glorified and the descriptions are not gratuitous. Definitely more PG-13 than R. Recommended for ages 15+. Also of note: This is the same book as the one titled 7 1/2 Deaths instead of 7 Deaths. Same book, different titles.
