Hey there friends, Today I am excited to share my review of The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart. I am a bit delayed on this review (I finished the book at the beginning of August) because I was a bit indecisive about what to do with the series. I …

Hi y'all! I am thrilled to be able to share a review today of C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. This is a review I have looked forward to writing and feared I couldn't possibly do the work justice. Screwtape is a modern day classic and is so powerful that it's difficult to form my …
Hi y'all! Today I am excited to share my review of The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman, winner of the 1987 Newbery Medal. As I've mentioned in a few recent posts, I am terribly behind on reviews right now. So I'm trying to post a few a week to catch up! It's a good place …

Happy Friday, y'all! I am thrilled to share a long anticipated (for me at least) review of The Wilderking Trilogy today. This three book series by Jonathan Rogers is fantastic! I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of plot but the mythic retelling of the David biblical story was absolutely amazing. Seriously, this is …
Hi y'all! I'm scheduling this post to publish this weekend because I will probably not be getting on for a few days because... WE'RE CLOSING ON A HOUSE! This is seriously surreal and so exciting! We've found a great place to raise our kids. And we can't wait to get moved in and settled. So …
Hi y'all! Today I'm here with a review of a recent classic: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I think this was my first time reading this book cover to cover. I'm pretty sure I've read excerpts in school growing up. But never completely before now. There's not many books from WWII …
