The Queue: Book Club Special

I'm reading Chesterton's The Defendant as part of my own YouTube channel's, The Popish Plot, "Catholic Book Club collaboration." I'm reading Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as part of a book club organized by the podcast Abiding Together. Lewis's Mere Christianity is a gift from my ex-girlfriend, Miss Mozart; we're going to read it as a two-person book club, after we both participate in the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe book club. She sees parallels between her own struggles with faith & Lewis's, but even more especially his wife, Joy Davidman.
