Out with the old, in with the new As often happens, this last month did not go as planned. March was the busiest month in recent memory, but it's okay, because I learned a lot of really useful lessons. First of all, my reading life was not what I anticipated when I started the month. … Continue reading Monthly Reflections

The Friday Four
Four cozy, beautiful, or thoughtful links to get your weekend started It's been a few weeks since I last posted a "Friday Four," and I can't apologize for missing last week's: my family and I took a long weekend during spring break to visit northern Yellowstone, and it was one of the best short trips … Continue reading The Friday Four
The Friday Four
Four cozy, beautiful, or thoughtful links to get your weekend started I'm sure you've seen the hype for Masterpiece's Les Miserables, but if you have the chance, check out their website. It's full of interviews, previews, beautiful pictures to whet your appetite. Olivia Colman rounds out a fantastic cast. 2. With spring approaching, I find … Continue reading The Friday Four
Top 5 BBC Miniseries
While I am and always will be a reader, I don't actually like to read every moment of the day. I read when I can, I listen to audiobooks off and on throughout the week, but sometimes I just need a mental break. There are days when zoning out to the TV is right where … Continue reading Top 5 BBC Miniseries
The Friday Four
Four cozy, beautiful or thoughtful links to get your weekend started I adore food and books, so if we can combine the two, all the better. I recently discovered The Little Library Cafe where author and photographer Kate Young recreates recipes from both modern and classic literature. The photography is mouthwatering and the writing is … Continue reading The Friday Four
Marilla of Green Gables
by Sarah McCoy I have been a life-long friend and "kindred spirit" of Anne Shirley from L.M. Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables". I remember my grandmother had a set at her farm and that's where I read most of Anne's adventures: under quaking poplar trees, on thick Russian Olive limbs stretched over the creek, or … Continue reading Marilla of Green Gables
Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer
by Priscilla Shirer Do you struggle with your prayer life? I know I do; in fact, I'm not sure how often I can even call it a "life". It seems, more often than not, it's a quick shot in the dark here, an "arrow prayer" there, a desperate plea when I can't think of anything … Continue reading Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer
The Road to Paradise
by Karen Barnett We are often told to not “judge a book by its cover,” but I will be the first one in line to admit I judge books by the cover all the time. I understand the phrase is an idiom--something I just taught a group of 4th graders about today--but it applies equally … Continue reading The Road to Paradise
Maisie Dobbs
by Jacqueline Winspear Mysteries have always been hit or miss for me. I enjoy a certain degree of tension and suspense, but gratuitous violence turns me off. BBC period pieces and Downton Abbey are more my speed. Maisie Dobbs books always have beautiful, unique covers When I was introduced to Maisie Dobbs, I was suspicious because I … Continue reading Maisie Dobbs
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Mary Ann Schaffer, Annie Barrows One of the best books I've read in 2019 is also one of the worst movies I have seen in 2019. I don't know why I do this to myself--why do I ever watch a movie based off a book? I suppose I am a perennial optimist who thinks … Continue reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
