Welcome to another Reading Wednesday. Today we’ll be taking a look at Hearts of Fire, a book published by Voice of the Martyrs. This book contains the stories of eight women and what their conversion to Christianity cost them. They were tortured, beaten, and imprisoned, but through it all, stood strong in their faith. The trials they faced were very…
Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be taking a look at the book series The Knights of Arrethtrae. Let’s get started! These books were purchased several years ago at a homeschool convention. In fact, we met the author (Chuck Black)! I’ve been re-reading them recently, and I thought they would be a good series to share here on the blog….
Hello! Today we’ll be continuing the topic of last week’s post with stories from Grandma’s Attic: All Grown Up. Let’s start! I enjoyed the books in this series documenting the older years of the characters better than the preceding ones. Which, incidentally, is the case with many of the books I’ve written about here on the blog. 😉 I guess…
Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be talking about the series of stories from Grandma’s Attic. Let’s get started! These stories are geared more towards younger readers, but I think that any age would enjoy them. The stories are written as if they were being told to us by the woman who had lived them. Which is sort of the…
Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be taking a look at The Wide, Wide World. The books, that is. 😉 Now, if you’ve ever read Little Women, you’d probably remember that this is the book that Jo March is crying over in one of the chapters. And yes, the two books do begin rather somberly with Ellen Montgomery and her…
Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be exploring some sewing tips from decades past. Let’s get started! This book (if you couldn’t already tell) is from the seventies. I saw it at a thrift store a couple of days ago, and just had to pick it up. And also laugh a little at the title, because it was definitely not…
Hello! Today we’ll be taking a look at some more vintage music. Let’s get started! Here are the three music sheets in question. The layouts are pretty similar to those of last week, each with a song and some advertisements for other music, etc. More Vintage Music: A Closer Look This cover is rather…interesting. The illustration is cute. But I’m…
Music notes from the past, that is. 😉 Today we’ll be going down the vintage road again, and taking a look at some sheet music from days past. Let’s get started! These are the three music sheets we’ll be looking at today. Oh, and since I have a whole stack of music sheets such as this, there may be more…
Hello! Today is the last post in a series I’ve been doing about books connected with Laura Ingalls Wilder. So far we’ve talked about books written about her great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and Laura herself. Today’s series is about her daughter, Rose. Otherwise known as The Rose Years. Let’s get started! Unfortunately, this is another series where I don’t actually have…
Hello Again! Today on Reading Wednesday (even though it’s Thursday 😉 ) I’ll be sharing something a little different: Calligraphy Made Easy. Let’s get started! One of my goals this new year is to work on getting a little better with some of my hobbies/skills. Calligraphy is one of those things I enjoy doing, but I’m not too confident that…
