Tenth book of the year. Slow progress with my 25 for the year. May have been optimistic. Useful book, not too thick but insightful coverage of a wide range of family situations and considerations for supporting a child to explore a Christian faith #BookSky #WomeninChristianity

Aqua blue book with picture of a dad and child called Raising Faith. Written by Katharine Hi and Andy Frost. Subtitle “Helping our children find a faith that lasts”

I hadn’t realised there was a novel! I loved the Wrath and the Dawn Webtoon, just checked and turns out it was based on this book. 🗡️🌅

Also feel like “sleeplessness nights” better captures the feeling of night shifts and work stress than “sleepless nights”

Not sure how I managed to injure this book, think something attacked it my bag. But I’ve finished it now. Sad and challenging stories

Photo of a book cover. There is a tear at the top of the cover. The book is called
‘The prison doctor
The Final Sentence
- Stories from inside a foreign national prison’
By Dr Amanda Brown
There is a photograph of a doctor sitting with her arms folded in a white coat, holding a red stethoscope on the table.

There have been many times I’ve felt I haven’t the time for a ringing phone. But I’ve been on the other side recently. It’s so frustrating when you want answers. One for me to remember, definitely

Main thing that stuck with me - I loved the anecdote of a consultant who would always answer the ward phone and try to help. Beautifully phrased.

With maternity leave drawing to a close in just over a month, it’s time to dust off the various medical-themed books I’ve been given as gifts but never got round to reading. First one completed: Your Life in My Hands by Rachel Clarke
