Jencey's Corner

 I appreciate all those who have followed me at Writer's Corner.  I am going to be making some changes to the blog.  I will still cover book reviews but I will add other posts too.   My hope is that the posts that I will share from my life might provide a way to minister going forward.    I want to focus on joy in both reading and living.  We should enjoy our lives and what we read.  The way to start is to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.  Only by following his path can we really know the joy he meant for us to have.   What are you grateful for?  What brings you joy? I hope you will join me going forward. :)

 My favorite book that I have read so far in 2023  is The Last Book Shop In London by Madeline  Martin.   This book follows the life of Grace Bennett during World War II in London.   Grace journeys to London after being put out of the family home that she grew up in by her uncle and his family.   The initial journey to London leaves Grace with uncertainty about her future.  " August 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and blackout curtains that she finds on her arrival were not what she expected. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London. Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed—a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war."(Goodreads, 2021).
