    Books I’ve Read Recently

    It’s been over two months since I posted a reading update. I doubt you’ve missed it. That’s okay. I’m not offended. Really. I mostly just make these reading posts for my benefit… and I like to do them once a month. But time gets away from me. Of course, if you’re a bibliophile like me, you could always follow me…

    Recent Reads

    For the last couple of years I’ve been tracking my reading with GoodReads. I haven’t participated in any reading challenges lately and I haven’t set any reading goals. Mainly because I suspect I read too much already. There’s a quote from Louisa May Alcott that describes that condition: “She is too fond of books, and it has addled her brain.”…

    Review: Pass It On

    Unless you are part of my family you may not know that for about 18 years in the 1990s and early 2000s I published a monthly family newsletter that I mailed out to my extended family. I started it not long before my children came along at the encouragement of my parents and grandparents. It turned to be a wonderful…

    Review: Adored

    For the past couple of years I have enjoyed Bible journaling. That is, having a Bible with lined margins for jotting down my thoughts and copying verses as I read through the Bible. It has made my Bible reading and private devotion time more meaningful. But then, I like to write. Not everyone does. I get that. So when I…

    Reading Lately and Other Ramblings

    Disclosure: This post includes affiliate links. Rebecca has taken an interest in rabbits lately. She has seen pictures of pet rabbits on Instagram and has decided that would be the very thing to add to her backyard farm. Apparently, four fat hens are not enough. The first step, of course, is to research rabbits. That requires a trip to the…

    Reading Lately

    Here’s a visual of what I’ve been reading the past couple of months. Out of this batch my favorite fiction title is A Time to Stand by Robert Whitlow. It is a legal thriller dealing with racial issues. I really liked several of the characters and appreciated the strong element of Christian faith throughout. I also highly recommend The Outdoor Adventure…

    Review: Reading People

    Did you ever take one (or more) of those silly online personality quizzes? Which Winnie the Pooh character are you? Studying personality types fascinates me so I was happy to be selected for the launch team for Reading People by Anne Bogel. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. As Anne explains it…

    Review: Rule of Law

    Typically I enjoy legal thrillers. I have read and enjoyed several titles by Randy Singer, so I was happy for the opportunity to review his new book, Rule of Law. I received a complimentary copy from LitFuse in exchange for my honest review. Here’s the publisher’s description– About the Book: What did the president know? And when did she know it?…

    Reading Lately

    My summer has been so full with a wide variety of activities that it seems like I’m not getting as much reading done as I was during the winter and spring. I track my reading with the Goodreads app on my phone. I was surprised to see how much I actually have read the past couple of months when I…

    Review: My Daughter’s Legacy

      About a year ago I read the second book in the Cousins of the Dove series by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould, My Sister’s Prayer. I enjoyed how that story explored sister relationships but it did kind of leave me hanging since it is the middle book of a trilogy. I was happy to have the opportunity to…
