Healthy Simplicity - Library Time

Library Time 87

On June 11, 2016 By mrsjschonIn Books3 Comments

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 …

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 …

Thanks to a friend I've been introduced to the world of Nero Wolfe by Rex Stout. I was given two Nero Wolfe books, and so far I've read And Four To Go. I am so glad that I found this wonderful character. And a character Nero Wolfe is. He's big (one-seventh of a ton as …

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 …

This week I'm taking a break from some of the heavy adult books to read a childhood classic - Heidi by Johanna Spyri. For the 2015 reading challenge I needed a book by an author with the same initials as mine. I wasn't looking to hard having lots of other books to work on, but …

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 …

Welcome to My Blogging Home

Hello, I’m Jennifer. I’m a recently widowed pastor’s wife with eight children. Nothing really prepared me for the wonder and chaos of being a mother to eight or for the agony of losing my best friend. I use this blog to keep myself organized and to hopefully be an encouragement to Intentional Simplicityyou as well.
