Today was one of the most peaceful Sundays we’ve had in a while. No appointments, no errands, no pressure to go out. I took the opportunity to have a reading weekend. I settled in with a cup of tea, a warm blanket and an ebook from the library, The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. I’m about a quarter of the way through it and it’s a fantastic read so far. It’s about a WWI veteran who comes back home to Australia after the war and becomes a lighthouse keeper on a remote island. He and his wife have no children of their own, but one day, a dinghy washes up on their shores with a dead man and a live baby. The husband wants to report the incident to the proper authorities, but the wife sees the occurrence as God’s answer to their prayers for a child and she begs her husband to let them keep the baby. What will they do? What will be the repercussions? I’m excited to read on and find out more.

I expect I’ll do a lot more reading during this quarantine, so any book recommendations are welcomed and appreciated.
