Tianna is 20% done with The Light Princess
"For the king hated all witticisms, and punning especially."

"'My dear queen,' said he, 'duplicity of any sort is exceedingly objectionable between married people of any rank, not to say kings and queens; and the most objectionable form duplicity can assume is that of punning.'"

Sir! 😡

Tianna is 40% done with The Teacher of Nomad Land: A World War II Story
"He thinks, It is only love that lets us forgive the inconvenience of other people. He thinks, Baba gave me love. I wasn't supposed to wrench it from his hardened fist. A father just gives it like water." 😭

Tianna is 75% done with Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer
"Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are 'patches of Godlight' in the woods of our experience."

This proposal's feeling like one of those "Is your child texting about XYZ" memes. Here for it though.

Tianna is 40% done with Women in the World of the Earliest Christians: Illuminating Ancient Ways of Life
Interesting tidbits on the Samaritan woman and what her previous five marriages could have meant (divorce practices, likelihood of husbands' deaths, her social situation). Also good exploration of the complexity of 1 Timothy 2:15 and the evolution of its interpretation from early church times through the Reformation.

Tianna is 22% done with Heaven and Nature Sing: 25 Advent Reflections to Bring Joy to the World
Day 5: Silence wrecked me — Anderson juxtaposes Zechariah's wordlessness with his son as the voice preparing the way for the Messiah. Plus good food for thought on his unbelief/suspicion in the face of answered prayer.

(I am behind on my Advent reading clearly.)

Tianna is on page 243 of 440 of The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, #3)
"I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren."

"Yet now that I have leave to depart, I would remain. For this House has become to me of all dwellings the most blessed." 😭
