As usual I have several books on the go right now, but the best one is Faith and Victory in Dachau. This is the memoir of a Dutch pastor who survived Dachau in World War II. His crime? Encouraging his church school board to stand up to the Germans and not give in to the …
I was checking, and it's been quite a while since I did a post where I told you what each of us is reading. Sorry about that. Right now I'm reading Oliver Twist. I've been wanting to read it for a while, but what pushed me over the edge was a really bad BBC production …
Last year I discovered a year-long reading challenge put out by PopSugar. I really enjoyed doing it. Some of the categories took me out of my reading comfort zone, and I discovered some books that I really enjoyed. I'm doing it again this year. Anyway, about a week ago I was thinking that I would love …
Last year I did the reading challenge that the website Popsugar put out. I didn't read every book in the list, but I had a lot of fun picking the books. Also, some of the categories pushed me out of my comfort zone in reading and discovered some great books. So will you join me …
I finally found a few minutes to sit down and tally up the results of my reading and book reading challenge from last year. Altogether I read over 150 books last year. Admittedly some of these were on the short side - I was reading them to okay them for my children. But others were …

All this week on her blog my daughter has been having a celebration in honour of Lucy Maud Montgomery. It's been a lot of fun to read the posts and comments and participate in the "tag" she created. You can read my answers here if you want. So this week I thought I would do …
My daughter, in honour of Lucy Maud Montgomery's birthday, is running a full week of posts on her blog all about Montgomery and the books she wrote. She wrote this tag, and I thought it would be fun to participate in it. Her week of fun also includes a gorgeous Anne print that she's giving …
I really didn't read much more than light, fluffy books this week due to a sore throat that lingered for days. There is a time for fluff - when you're too tired/sick to think, but you want to be distracted. 17-year-old daughter - Still staying with the Louis L'Amour collected short frontier stories - call it …
So I read a Dickens' book over the past couple of weeks that I never read before and really had no interest in. However, for the 2015 book reading challenge I needed a book that my mom loves, and this is what she gave me - The Olde Curiosity Shoppe. As a bonus, you can download …
