[quote=Anonymous]Just finishing Counting the Cost by Jill Dillard (née Duggar).  I never watched the show but have an ongoing interest in their type of fundamentalist Christianity since there are parts of their lifestyle that are appealing to me (lots of kids, community, homeschooling, gardening/homesteading type living, Laura Ingalks Wilder cosplay) but also they would hate me (I’m a queer single parent who believes in socialism and systematic racism and while I’m Christian the god I believe in is a genuinely loving and forgiving god) so it’s not like I’m even slightly tempted to think about converting.  I read Jinger’s book in the spring and it was interesting to read about how the two girls looked back on their shared childhood differently in some ways and the same in others.  They both talk a lot about the intense anxiety the combination of IBLP and reality television gave them among other things.  Not sure it has appeal if you’re not already interested in the family but I’m glad I got it out of the library and would definitely recommend reading it in conjunction with Becoming Free Indeed which is more heavily theological than biographical.[/quote]
