@EleanorFranzen I've got more! You asked for theological in particular, which brings to mind Waiting for the Last Bus by Richard Holloway. A few more favourites are Dear Life by Rachel Clarke, Body of Work by Christine Montross, and The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs.

Having just returned from a holiday on the Outer Hebrides, I'm finding this suspenseful novel set off the west coast of Scotland the perfect read! Thanks to @Bookywookydooda for the #bookpost. The Wilderness by Sarah Duguid comes out from @TinderPress on 21 July. https://t.co/ETXMBMKVS7

Many thanks to @Canongate for a proof copy of #TheNightShip by Jess Kidd, coming out on 11 August. I loved Things in Jars and can't wait to get stuck into her new one for the #blogtour! #bookpost https://t.co/jUtW2yITPu

Bewilderment by Richard Powers is out today in the UK. As environmentally conscious as The Overstory, but with a more intimate scope, it's a book of feral beauty. On the Booker shortlist; one of my books of the year. I recently reviewed it for @BookBrowse: https://www.bookbrowse.com/mag/reviews/index.cfm/ref/pr276928 https://t.co/JkxigMb7JV
