What are some of my favorite book series? Show one a day for 25 days? Okay.

Day 4: The Guardians of the Flame by Joel Rosenberg. One of the original Isekai series. College friends get sent to their game's world. Mr. Rosenberg passed before finishing the series.

Theo of Golden is about a mysterious elderly man who moves to a small town in Georgia. On the walls of a coffee shop he frequents are hung 100 plus portraits painted by a local artist. Theo hatches a plan to begin buying the portraits and quietly gift them to the subjects. In the process, he has interesting interactions with the recipients, some who become close friends.  Throughout most of the book we don’t really know much about Theo other than he is an immigrant and a wealthy, self-made “businessman” who rose from humble beginnings. He is cultured — a connoisseur of literature, music and the arts and speaks several languages.

There are a lot of religious undertones and symbolism throughout the book — Theo for instance derives from the Greek word Theos, meaning deity or God. The name Theo itself means “Gift of God” both in Greek and Portuguese. The coffee shop that is central to the story is called The Chalice, a word whose Biblical significance is rooted in the Last Supper and the Christian tradition of the Eucharist. The co-owner of the coffee shop is Shep - perhaps short for Shepherd. Theo throughout the book openly professes his unwavering belief in God and in Heaven. 

Theo of Golden has received a lot of raving praise from readers but I have also seem plenty of detractors who don’t like the religious overtones or find the story too Pollyannaish. One commenter called Theo misogynistic and another said he was racist and xenophobic. I didn’t see that. An undocumented immigrant who caused a fatal car wreck is treated sympathetically. And Theo himself is an immigrant from Portugal. At worst, I saw Theo as a bit old-fashioned in some of his thinking.

Theo of Golden was a satisfying — and uplifting — read. There are a number of big surprises in the last couple of dozen or so pages that some may find shocking. The ending is satisfying, and pulls together the plot well. I would give Theo of Golden 3 out of 4 stars. It is not a classic, but it’s a worthy read.

I finished reading Allen Levi’s “Theo of Golden” about week. I was looking for an uplifting read and I got it. Much has been written about it, but I thought I would add my two cents. Please see ALT for my review. #BlueBrewBooks #BookReview #Books #TheoOfGolden #Novels #AllenLevi #Reading

"To California or any place— every one a drum major leading a parade of hurts, marching with our bitterness. And some day— the armies of bitterness will all be going the same way. And they’ll all walk together, and there’ll be a dead terror from it."

Just read - ‘The Correspondent’, an extraordinary and brilliant novel by Virginia Evans, published by Michael Joseph. Evans certainly sets the bar high for debut novelists.

Thanks so much Peggy Hooker for sending this wonderful read. #Novels #ReadingTime

There is already one closeted gay character in this manuscript, so I've decided one of the men in the established relationship should also be partly closeted.

Good story brings about real change in its protagonist, and here we see a lovely mirroring of similar situations near the start and end of the tale that lets us directly see how the character has grown. A very satisfying read.⚡️📚💙

The Old Curiosity Shop (Full Audiobook) | Dickens’ Tale of Innocence, Suffering & Redemption Part 1 ✝️ Catholic Star-Rated Review ★★★★★ (5/5) One of Charles Dickens’ most tender and heartbreaking works, The Old Curiosity Shop offers a profound meditation on innocence, suffering, and the fragility of life. Through the character of Little Nell, Dickens portrays a purity that stands in stark contrast to the corruption of the world around her. From a Catholic perspective, the novel reflects the redemptive value of suffering and the dignity of the innocent soul. It echoes the Christian understanding that holiness is often found in humility, patience, and quiet endurance amid hardship. A deeply moving audiobook that invites reflection on compassion, mortality, and the eternal value of virtue.
