Gretchen Louise 3 Minute Read I’m old-fashioned. I prefer old hardbacks to new paperbacks. I would rather read a book with pages I can turn than one that’s contained in a reader or computer. So it only follows that I would always prefer to read the book before I watch the movie. But last fall, I found my “read it…

Jessica Elisabeth 2 Minute Read Mystery books have always held a special place in my heart. I spent many enjoyable hours with the Hardy Boys, Boxcar Children, and Happy Hollisters during the first years of my reading life. But my book list has lacked titles from the mystery genre in my teen years, stemming from a desire to read more classic literature.
Chantel 3 Minute Read There once was a little, tiny girl who loved books and words. She loved her Bible story books, and memorized several of them word for word. She even memorized when to turn the pages, and recited the entire book to an unsuspecting grandparent who was then convinced that this barely three-year-old could actually read already….
Gretchen Louise 3 Minute Read I love children’s books. Especially antique children’s books. And so does my husband. We know better than to venture to the children’s section of a vintage bookstore, unless we have lots of time and money! The lone bookshelf in our children’s bedroom doesn’t even contain all their books any more. The ones meant for older…

Elisabeth Allen 4 Minute Read A degree course that requires a lot of reading is an ideal choice for a girl who has been reading for every spare moment for longer than I can remember.

Gretchen Louise 2 Minute Read Reading Holley Gerth‘s book You’re Already Amazing was like getting a great big hug. In a conversational, across-the-table-at-the-coffee-shop style, Holley’s words wrapped around my heart, encouraging me to embrace who I am. You don’t have to be because you already are. It doesn’t matter if you’re the “it” girl, because “God looks at you and…
Theresa 3 Minute Read I’ve always seen myself as something of a health nut, but this book certainly challenged even my standards. As I read it, I started to look with opened eyes at my cupboard. Started to wonder just what that ingredient would do to my body. Started to applaud myself when I made a salad with veggies from my own garden.
The End.
