Today we’ll be taking a look at the Charlotte years. That is, the story of the girl who would become Laura Ingalls Wilder’s grandmother. But before we get into that, how crazy is it that it’s already the first day of December?! It’s really beginning to feel like Christmas around here. I decorated my room this morning. I prefer to…
Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday we have a few books chronicling the Martha Years. Or, in other words, the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s great-grandmother. Let’s get started! Here is yet another series of books geared toward “younger readers”. (Such as this series) In my opinion, however, they can be read by any age. But, if you don’t agree with…
Today is Reading Wednesday! I’ll be sharing about the novel Christy, by Catherine Marshall. Oh, but on another subject entirely, it’s finally chilly here! Who else is looking forward to the cold weather? (And the holidays that come with it. I know I am! 😉 ) Full disclosure: I’ve actually thought about sharing this book before, but always had second…
Well, it might not really be an unexpected post, but given the subject matter, the reference was too good to resist. 😉 What is that subject you ask? J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. A few months ago I suggested The Lord of the Rings series. (I’ll link to that post here.) Well, here I am again with the book preceding that…
Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be sticking with the vintage theme of the last two weeks (Ladies’ Home Magazine Part one and two) and share my Nancy Drew Mysteries collection. Let’s get started! My collection consists of forty-four books. Some of them are the same books, but from different years. I’ll show an example of that in a moment. These…
Today I’ll be a sharing a few photos of the process of personalizing a hand-bound book. Yes, I’ve never posted anything like this before, but that’s what Simply Saturdays are for! Here is the book in question. I should make it clear that I was not the one to do the binding. This is my brother’s copy of The Lord…
Today we’ll be taking a look at Wives and Daughters, which was written by the same author as North and South. Let’s get started! I found this book when I was wandering around Barnes and Noble, trying to find something to buy with a gift card. I spotted this one, recognized the author, and read the back. As usual when…
Today I’ll be sharing the last book in the Prairie Legacy series: Like Gold Refined. Let’s get started. As I said, this is the last book of the series. (I’ll leave links to the previous three book reviews here, here, and here.) Next week I’m planning on taking a break from Janette Oke books, and share from another author. You’ve…
Today we’ll be taking a look at the third book in the Prairie Legacy Series: A Quiet Strength. (Please ignore the crooked photo.) I’ve now finished the reading the series. Now I’d like to find some other books written by Janette Oke, since the ones I’ve read so far have all been pretty good. (And, I even discovered that she…
Today we’ll be taking a look at the second book in the Prairie Legacy series: A Searching Heart. (Oh, and ignore the bent book in the photo. Unfortunately, it came that way from where I bought it online.) As you may remember, I talked about the first book in the series in this post. I received the rest of the…
