| It’s been a rough fall and I am not a winter person. I feel myself slipping into a seasonal slump already. Please send your recs for inspirational but not religious books. I generally like lighthearted books. |

Pride and Prejudice.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. It isn't really a "religious" book, but faith is a theme. |

Loved the book below — resilience of the human spirit. Lottery by Patricia Wood: This novel focuses on Perry Crandall, a man with an IQ of 76 who wins a multimillion-dollar jackpot. The story explores how his newfound wealth brings out the best and worst in his family and community, testing loyalty and trust. |
| Mountains beyond mountains is one of my fave books of all time. |
| The Power of One |
| For lighthearted and uplifting try Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting. |
