Mugabe and the White African~Book Review

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

I received a free copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity to review on my blog. It’s not the typical type of book I pick up, but I’m finding it interesting. I don’t know much about the conflict in Zimbabwe but I’m finding this book draws me in. It’s well written and I find myself [...]

Too Blessed To Be Stressed~ Book Review

Friday, August 19th, 2011

I received a free copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity to review. It’s a lighthearted easy devotional read. Perfect for a little uplift or encouragement. I wouldn’t use this as my Bible study–it’s not really my type for study. But I do think it’s a good fit for days you just need a pick [...]

George Washington Carver~Book Sneeze Review

Friday, August 5th, 2011

  I received a free copy of this book from BookSneeze (free books for bloggers). James and I studied the Civil War all year last year and we briefly mentioned George Washington Carver. He’s not really part of the Civil War story, but he was born a slave and became a great man so he [...]

A Few More Reviews….

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

You will be seeing a few more reviews around here. I’m still reviewing some books with Litfuse Publicity and I was accepted as one of The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew members. I also was accepted as a blogger to a Woman of Faith conference this fall. So, just a heads up. I’ll still be regular [...]

Mugabe and the White African

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

One family’s stand for Justice – catch the story on PBS 7/26! I’ll be blogging about the book Mugabe and the White African later this month, but I wanted to let you know that Point of View will air the documentary Mugabe and the White African on Tuesday, July 26th. The film tells the story of Mike Campbell [...]

Boomtown Chang’s Fireworks Factory by Nowen N Particular

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

  I am woefully behind in submitting this review! I don’t even know what happened. To be super honest with you, I’m only getting it in because if I don’t I can’t have another book from BookSneeze and I see one that looks good! (Is that really bad?!) From Book Sneeze: Imagine a place where [...]

Spring For Susannah~Book Review

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

I received a free copy of this book for my review from LitFuse Publicity. I had another book to review too so it did sit on my shelf for a little while. As soon as I started reading it, I was hooked. I always enjoy finding a new author and this book was a good [...]

Book Review~My Foolish Heart by Susan May Warren

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

I found Susan May Warren by doing a book review and I’ve enjoyed all her books so far. (Haven’t read them all~) This book will be a great summer read for you. Perfect for lounging in a chair in your back yard and drinking some tea! This story is set in Deep Haven, Minnesota which [...]

Beside Still Waters Tricia Goyer

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

I received this book to review from LitFuse Publicity. I do enjoy reading Amish fiction from time to time so I looked forward to diving in. Marianna Sommer is about to get baptized into the Amish church and marry Aaron Zook. She’s ready to set up the only life she’s ever dreamed of. Her parents [...]

A Trail of Ink by Mel Starr

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

  I wasn’t sure what to expect when I received this book to review. I find medieval times interesting but not fascinating. This book is the third book in the series. I didn’t read the other two but that didn’t cause any problems. I was able to follow the story and didn’t feel lost at [...]
