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 …
This has been such a busy week. Lots of time spent on outings with family and a little trip with my husband. Of course everywhere I went, I took my Kindle with me. I was able to do lots of reading while we were travelling in the car. A few weeks ago my daughter said …
Disclosure: Affiliate Links I read a new-to-me Lucy Maude Montgomery book this week - A Tangled Web. It's all about a clan (surprise, surprise). One of the oldest members of the clan dies and leaves the coveted family jug to...well, that's the story. Who does she leave it to? They won't find out for more …
Disclosure: Affiliate Link A slightly different format this week. I just don't have the energy to find out what all of my children have been reading. The heat we've been "enjoying" has really drained me of all ambition. The little boys and I have been enjoying our books from the library which included some "Corduroy" …
Disclosure: Affiliate Links Today we went to the library in our area and got new library cards! Going to a new library is always exciting. We left with a big stack of books - old favourites and new titles to try. Then we went to a thrift store across the street and bought some books. …

All But My Life is the memoir of Gerda Weissmann Klein, a Polish Jewess who lived through the Holocaust. When Hitler invaded Poland Gerda had just turned fifteen. Her father was part-owner of a fur …
Disclosure: Affiliate Links This week I read two Oppenheim books. I don't usually read two in a row. I'm trying to dole them out to myself, but I was disappointed with the ending for The Illustrious Prince so I read another one - Jacob's Ladder. This one did not disappoint. It was almost pure romance …
Disclosure: Affiliate Links I have so many good books on the go right now. I'm reading Peace Child by Don Richardson. It's an excellent missionary story about a couple who took the gospel to a tribe in New Guinea who were still living as they had for millennia. Then I'm also reading The Illustrious Prince …
Disclosure: Affiliate links Ok, I have a confession to make. Over the last ten to fourteen days I've been binge reading the "Underland Chronicles" by Suzanne Collins. This is my second time through this series, and I enjoyed it just as much this time as the last time...maybe even a little more. I've also been …
