I’m really excited about the book I’m going to be ready for March, when Lent begins. But what to read this month? Then I had lunch with a dear friend I don’t see too often. We talked about what we were reading, and I was embarrassed and surprised to realize it’s been a long time
since I read any new fiction!

As a result, I’ve selected for my February readingĀ Cynthia Ruchti’s Miles from Where We Started, a novel about a year-old marriage that isn’t where the wife or the husband expected it to be. Ruchti’s won a number of awards for her 20-plus books, and I’m looking forward to getting acquainted with her work.
What’s on your nightstand?
