The Lord of the Rings

Hello again! Today is Reading Wednesday, which means more book suggestions. The books in question? The Lord of the Rings. Chances are, if you haven’t watched the Lord of the Rings movies, you’ve at least heard of them. But, have you read the books? The books dive much farther into the world of Middle Earth than the movies. J.R.R.Tolkien had…

More by Janette Oke

Hello again! Today I’ll be sharing a few more books written by Jannette Oke. You may remember how in last week’s Reading Wednesday post, I said that I had picked up a few more books written by Janette Oke at the same time as The Tender Years. Well, today I’ll be sharing two more! A Woman Named Damaris: First up,…

Continuing the Story: The Tender Years

Ciao! Today I’m sharing another book for Reading Wednesday: The ninth installment in the Love Comes Softly series. A book called The Tender Years. Let’s get started!

David Of Blunderstone Rookery

Hello again! Today’s post is going up a little later than usual, but I’m finally here! Due to the busy nature of the past few days, I hadn’t given much thought to the book I would be recommending today. I had several titles simmering at the back of my mind, but hadn’t decided on one yet. Until, that is, when…

Siblings and Sacrifice

Hello again! Today I’m sharing another book by Louisa May Alcott. Let’s get started! As you’ve probably gathered, I enjoy reading Louisa May Alcott (See here and here). Some may say the stories are too dated to be relevant in the present, but I beg to differ. Even with all of the outward changes that have occurred, such as what…

From Bath to Milton

Hello! I have some more books to share with you today. 🙂 First up, Northanger Abbey. This book is very amusing. I recently watched an online course from Hillsdale College on Jane Austen and more specifically, this book. It was interesting to hear how Austen had written Northanger Abbey as a sort of parody on the romantic novels that were…

On the Wide Frontier

Hello again! I hope you’re looking forward to finding new books to read! About the books: Today, I’m sharing this trilogy. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of this series. What with the setting, time period, writing style, and the character’s faith. Naturally, since I enjoyed that series so much, I was happy to read another similar to…

Stories of two young women

Hello! It’s the day I’ve set aside for sharing books I’ve read and enjoyed. Let’s get started, shall we? I’ll begin with this one. Stepping Heavenward is a book about a young woman named Katherine Mortimer. It’s written in the form of diary entries and in some cases, letters, which makes for an interesting reading experience. The story begins just…

I hadn’t been able to find it anywhere else, so…
