I haven't been feeling well this past week so I have been doing a lot of reading while I rested, but most of the reading was very lite. I finally finished Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. My daughter asked me to proof-read this for her. There wasn't a lot of language, but there was more content …
Okay, this is a little different today. Last week on Facebook one of my friends put up a post that said, "Books. List your top 5 favourites of all time." I thought about that a lot. It was hard for me to limit myself to only five. And these aren't necessarily my favourites, but they …
I've had fun over the past week or two dipping back into some Scarlet Pimpernel books. The most recent was Sir Percy Hits Back. This book doesn't have Sir Percy showing up until well into the story. The story's interesting though with an astonishing twist near the end. If you enjoy the Scarlet Pimpernel, you …
So right now I'm reading two books. Well, three actually, but we won't get into that. Anyway, I like to have a paper back/hard cover book and one on my Kindle. My paper back book right now is called Safe Passage by Ida Cook. It's a memoir about two British sisters who rescued quite a few …
Wow! It's been a long time since I shared what we're reading, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been reading. I have been reading such a great book - My Heart in His Hands by Sharon James. This is the life of Ann Judson told mostly through her letters and journals. It is encouraging and …
So I thought I would do an end-of-the-summer update for the 2016 Reading Challenge. I think I have less than twenty books to read before the end of the year. I just need to get more focused in my decisions on what to read. I enjoy doing these challenges because they stretch me out of …
This has been a hard week. My husband had kidney stones which ended up with him spending the morning yesterday in the hospital. Thankfully everything checked out that he's over this, and I pray it never returns. Anyway, I've kept my reading light this week so I've been enjoying a Grace Livingston Hill book - …
Wow! It's been a long time since I wrote a post about what we've been reading. That doesn't mean we haven't been reading though. It just means I've had a busy summer and spotty internet. I love living rurally, but sometimes I miss easy internet access. Okay, my daughter and I are having an argument …
It has been a long time since I posted, and I'm sorry, but I can plead server problems for my website, company, extra church meetings, glorious warm weather at last, the push to finish up our school year. All of these things have left little time or inclination to write anything. I'm not going to …
Wow! I just checked and it's been about a month since I did a "library" post. This isn't going to be a typical one. I thought that five months in, I should update how I'm doing on the 2016 Reading Challenge. Almost half way through the year and I only have about 20% of the …
