Alleluia! Today is Easter Sunday, the most important Feast of the Church Year, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Today is the First Day in the Octave of Easter; the liturgical season of Easter will last until the Sunday of Pentecost in fifty days (including today). And today is César Chávez Day.

National Velvet by Enid Bagnold

This young adult book is about a girl living between the Wars in England in Sussex near the coast; she is fourteen and plain, and believes in horses. I had somehow never read this book as a young adult, but I am glad I tripped over it to read now.

Made for Heaven: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation by Augustino Torres

This book is the one that I have been reading since Ash Wednesday for my Lenten Reading, along with reading my other Book Devotional Reading every morning. This was a very good recourse, and one that I was happy to find to read.

The Cat Who Tailed a Thief by Lilian Jackson Braun (Ebook)

Koko and Yum Yum, with their person Jim Qwilleran (he of the large bushy mush ache and investigative bent) cheerfully as this nineteenth book of this mystery series begins have moved from the large apple barn to the allegedly quality condos in Indian Village, again in Pickax City, for the winter. This was a good mystery, one that was a fun read.
