So much to think about in this one.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>All Things Wise and Wonderful<\/em> by James Herriott<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Distant Land of My Father<\/em> by Bo Caldwell (This one really drew me in. It&#8217;s my second book by this author, and I loved both.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Saints volume 3: Boldly, Nobly, and Independent<\/em> (It was inspiring, a publication of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>God Will Prevail: Ancient Covenants, Modern Blessings, and the Gathering of Israel<\/em> by Kerry Muhlestein, PhD (So good!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Saints vol. 4: Sounded in Every Ear<\/em> (Inspiring and moving.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Lonesome Dove<\/em> by Larry McMurtry (I had to skip some parts, but it was one of the best novels I have ever read. I loved it for the psychology and it was an epic adventure story. My first Western.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Let Them Theory <\/em>by Mel Robbins (I dislike self help books. This one seemed especially worldly in its premises and foundations. It may not be as bad as I thought, but it had the unfortunate fate of being the book I read after <em>Lonesome Dove<\/em>, and nothing seems good after that.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Dear Beloved<\/em> by Jan Karon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>True Sisters<\/em> by Sandra Dallas (terrible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Doctor Thorne<\/em> by Anthony Trollope<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Slow March of Light<\/em> by Heather Moore<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":10356,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-31556","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31556"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32566,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31556\/revisions\/32566"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
