Easter Lily EP

It’s been nine years since new U2 music, and then we get two EPs only 40 days apart, with Days of Ash and now Easter Lily.

I’m not going to go song by song, but it is quintessentially U2, from Bono’s soaring lyrics to that signature guitar. There’s even a song with Edge on vocals that sounds so much like Bono you might not notice at first. It’s unabashedly religious (I mean, with that title, duh).

Had its moments, but felt kind of scattered and not entirely cohesive.

I hoped this book would work as a standalone without any knowledge of the game, but not so much. It's kind of meh. It has interesting moments, but Jaylen is kind of an ass and there's too much plodding and explanation. ...more

More wizard fun from Jim Butcher, though this series is already getting a little stale. It's interesting action, but the pacing always feels a little off to me. ...more

Quotes by Kevin D. Hendricks (?)

“The whole point of all this reading is to learn and grow. So, finally, talk about what you read. Think and reflect on the things you read. Process the ideas. Jot down the questions. Books stimulate thought, so take advantage of it and write it down.”
― Kevin D. Hendricks, 137 Books in One Year: How to Fall in Love With Reading

“When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among brothers, To make music in the heart. Howard Thurman, the late author, professor and civil rights leader”
