I had the pleasure of reading a lot of new(ish) Catholic children’s picture books lately. Here are my top dozen that I think children will enjoy most. Great for gifts, learning about the faith, studying the pictures, and reading again and again and again.
Sometimes I want to pick up something light, humorous, and romantic. I don’t equate that with fluff, which these books certainly are not. Some of these contemporary clean or Christian five-star romantic comedies have more depth than others, but none at the expense of a good story and likable characters.

Progress in my Goodreads 2023 Reading Challenge has been abysmal! I’ve been trying to get back in the game these last couple of weeks, zipping through some books I’d been wanting to pick up. First, I needed a book to listen to on my way to pick my son up from college. Sadly, as I think I’ve lamented here before, I no longer have access to Hoopla Digital through our libraries. That was my go-to source for borrowing audiobooks. Luckily, we’ve got a free Audible trial going, and I was able to find a Jody Hedlund book to listen to for free.
