Fall is here. The weather is cooling off and school is in full swing. It's a little harder to fit reading in now with school taking up several hours of our day, but since we are all bookaholics we manage. I read an incredibly sad memoir of a female doctor from Darfur who was tortured and …
So we're back to school. The wonderful thing about my children is that they never stopped reading all summer. Sometimes it's an issue when chores aren't done, but most of the time they're travelling the world and history through books, and I couldn't be happier. This past month I've been reading Grace Livingstone Hill, E. Phillips Oppenheim, …

Sign up for our library's reading club started today so I know that we'll be going sometime next week to do this. I don't have a list of books this week, but I thought I would review a book that my younger girls and I are reading...The Lost Prince by Frances Hodgson Burnett. You might recognize …
