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 …
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 …
My older children are out on a long-awaited day trip with my parents so they aren't here for me to get reading recommendations from. Instead in the interest in helping anyone out there whose child is struggling with reading, I thought I would share with you how the DEAR program has helped and is helping …
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 …
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 …
