My last month of reading was notable because it included one of the best books I’ve ever read — as well as one of the worst. Overall, it was a good month for reading — I can enthusiastically recommend that you check out three of the books I read, if you haven’t already, and […]

Africans, Victorians, Aging Actors, and Anne: Here’s What I Read Last Month

Suburban Turmoil Books

  For most of us, there are still a few weeks left of summer before school starts up, and definitely several more weekends to laze by the pool before the weather starts getting cooler outside. (Seems like a distant dream now, doesn’t it?) Now is the perfect time to crack open a new book or […]

Slavery, Seduction, Sickness, and Shakespeare: Here’s What I Read Last Month

Ghosts, Cowboys, Suburban Housewives, and Female Comedians: Here’s What I’ve Read Lately

Book Reviews

I love October- not only for the fall festivals, the recipes, and the decorating possibilities, but also for the great reading opportunities. As soon as October rolls around, I pull out all of our Halloween favorites from the bookshelves and try to read one Halloween-themed book to the kids each night before bed. We’ve collected […]

10 Halloween Books for Kids of All Ages

“January is usually the worst month of the year,” my husband said this morning as he was getting ready for work. “But this year, it’s been great. We have our Winter Wonderland decorations. We’ve gone on winter hikes and bike rides on the new greenway. We’re actually enjoying winter for a change.” It’s true. Not […]
