And the next book is (Or appears to be).....

Everyday Grace by Marianne Williamson.

Now, mind you, this was not the book I'd kind of had in mind when I was looking around to decide what to read next. I actually have 3 new acquistions from which I was contemplating choosing.

But there it was, top on a pile of books (and piles of books are the norm on my floor), a small book I brought about a year ago. Handsome cover (a painting by Nicolaes Maes, Young Girl Peeling Apples) and a size easy on the hand.

Before I knew it I'd plucked it from the pile and, cracking the cover at last, started reading.

So we'll see how it goes. I'm not ashamed to say that I can be a faithless reader, changing horses in mid-stream if my mind goes wandering!
