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 …

I just realized that it's been a couple of weeks since I did one of these posts. I apologize for that. It seems like our Saturdays lately have been very busy. Today though I'm at home all day - happy sigh. We've had a very busy week so I'm glad to not be going anywhere …

I read a really great novel recently. Marta's Promise by Jeanne Dennis is the story of how Germans were asked to come to Russia by Catherine the Great. They endured great hardships which did not end just because they arrived at their destination. 17-year-old daughter - Rainbow Valley by Lucy Maude Montgomery 11-year-old daughter - …

I've read a lot of novels lately. Most of them have been more or less what I call "brain candy" - not requiring a lot of thinking. I wanted something a little more meaty by still in the novel genre. So I went back to one of my favourite authors for novels - E. Phillips …

I've had a very difficult week fighting a flu of some sort. So this week instead of doing my usual review I'm encouraging you to head over to my daughter's blog and read her review of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women series. She reviews all of the books with a short review of the movies …
