Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hey y'all -- I think it was Gwen who recommended Gladys Hunt's Honey for a Woman's Heart. I got it ILL and have been feverishly reading it (as for some reason it was only on a two-week loan )

Anyway, it might be worth a perusal if you haven't looked at it. Gladys Hunt is the one who wrote the Honey for a Child's Heart about kids books.

This one is a great book of comments and reviews about all kinds of books -- fiction (including mystery, fantasy, classics and short stories), non-fiction (including history, biography, autobiography) and poetry as well as many other books. I came away with a list of 20 or so books that I'll now need to track down but they sound well-worth the effort!

A side note: she includes Catholic writers and books incluidng recommending Chesterton's Autobiography and mentioning how lovely his conversion story was!
