Happy Thursday! I hope you will join up with Tanya, Joanne, Jennifer and myself for this month's Share Your Shelf.
Book One:
This book has mixed reveiws, but I liked it. Here is the summary:
Molly Gray is a dedicated maid at the Regency Grand Hotel, where she finds immense joy in her job, particularly in returning messy rooms to a state of perfection. Her love for cleaning is palpable, and she takes pride in the well-stocked maid's trolley with all its cleaning supplies. However, Molly's passion for cleanliness doesn't translate into an understanding of social cues or the ability to navigate relationships.
Molly is considered odd by her co-workers, who don't share her enthusiasm for their work. Her closest friend, her grandmother, has passed away, leaving her feeling alone. Molly is also easily deceived by cunning individuals.
One day, when Molly enters the penthouse suite to clean, she discovers the most prestigious hotel guest, Mr. Black, has been murdered. Due to a series of comically unfortunate events, Molly becomes the prime suspect in the murder investigation, leading to a scandal that not only threatens the hotel's reputation but also her own livelihood.
Book Two:
I was able to meet Sophie, aka Boo Mama, Tuesday night at a book signing.
Here is the book summary:
With relatable stories and disarming grace, popular podcaster and author Sophie Hudson cuts through the confusing, differing stances on Christian women in leadership and offers a resource that empowers women to embrace their roles as leaders. Drawing from the book of Exodus, and using her trademark humor, Sophie skillfully helps you
· identify the leadership traits you already possess
· serve with boldness inside and outside the church
· lead faithfully and consistently
This is your invitation to embrace leadership with confidence and to find joy in understanding how God sees you. Prepare to be inspired, encouraged, and equipped to embrace the truth that you are uniquely made to lead.
In addition, I have listened to countless podcasts, which probably equal to more time than a book!
I hope you all have a great day!
So neat that you got to meet Sophie! I kind of feel like the leadership train has left and I am not on it... though I would be interested to find out what leadership traits that I have because I do not feel like I have any. I will consider reading this book for sure. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you do! I would like for my daughter to read it to as she is in the beginning stages of her career.
DeleteLook at you with your two books! I posted that I didn't finish even one. I am still laughing at your comment over this yesterday: "Please, let me finish just one in the next few hours!" 🤣
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, thank God for audiobooks!
DeleteHow fun to meet Sophie! She seems like someone everyone would like. I didn't read as much this month with all our travel, but may try to add my link this weekend.
ReplyDeleteShe is so kind and just as she comes across on the podcast.
DeleteThat is so fun that you met Sophie! I liked the Maid too.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a delight! I was so impressed. I had seen her once before, but had not actually met her.
DeleteThere is a sequel to the Maid that I thought was nearly as good. The Maid was so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's interesting to know. I heard there was going to be a movie about it, but not sure if that ever materialized.
DeleteI loved the book The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose. How nice to read that book and meet the author. I hope you enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I've seen A Fine Sight to See this week! I guess I need to add it to my list! It sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI liked The Maid too.
