Yay! We’re onto our second month of this challenge and I’m honestly wondering if six months is enough time to talk about everything and everyone that I want to talk about! You guys are making this challenge such a blast for me and I loved seeing what everyone else posted about last month. I can’t…

Undercover Super Sleuth/Detective Kit
I would feel myself to be remiss if I didn’t point out cool things like the Alex toys Super Sleuth Kit/Detective Activity Kit in conjunction with the Children’s Classics Mystery Reading Challenge. As I’ve mentioned before, I so wanted to be Nancy Drew when I was younger. My good friend and I at one point…
Becoming Spiritually Beautiful
Becoming Spiritually Beautiful caught my eye because it it by author Sharon Jaynes, who wrote The Power of a Woman’s Words which I read last year (click on the title to see my review). I had to know what Jaynes had to say in her latest (at the time of this post) work. Becoming Spiritually…
Cherry Ames
Raise your hand if you know who Cherry Ames is! I have been positively delighted to reacquaint myself with her in association with our Children’s Classics Mystery Challenge. I first “discovered” Cherry when I was 13 or 14 years old, browsing Half Price Books and trying to find something new to read. I came across…
Godmother
I confess I’m really not a fan of the modern novel. I find them to be so hit-or-miss that I typically avoid them. I browse bookstore aisles, waiting for something to catch my eye and then I indulge in the endless debate over “Will-I-Like-This-Or-Will-I-Not?” which drives me crazy and that’s not saying anything about those…
I Love My Little Storybook
I Love My Little Storybook might have a familiar look to it, as it was written and illustrated by Anita Jeram, illustrator of Guess How Much I Love You. The soft pastels just draw you in and the title doesn’t hurt things either. In I Love My Little Storybook we make friends with a white…
A Lineage of Grace
For those who have followed Francine Rivers for awhile, let me quickly disappoint/inform you that A Lineage of Grace is not a new novel by the famed authoress, but rather it is the complete collection of the series of novellas by the same name. Tyndale recently released this collection of five stories, previously published as…
Brainiac’s Secret Agent Activity Book
I admit it – I’m rather obsessed with the Children’s Classics Mystery Reading Challenge which got underway here in January. It’s just too fun revisiting my past through characters like Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames. As I mentioned, when I was younger I used to peruse the Nancy Drew Sleuth Book and try to dig…
Top Secret Recipes Unlocked
I had to. I simply HAD to know what recipes were in Top Secret Recipes Unlocked: All New Home Clones of America’s Favorite Brand-Name Foods because it mentioned that it had some top secret Chick fil A recipes and I have a known weakness for Chick fil A. (I also don’t have one within about…
Lessons in Life (Picture Books for Children)
Recently I was talking to another mother who said that she wanted her children to learn to be grateful people. Unfortunately, at the time of our conversation, I had yet to read Gracias / Thanks which is all about that very thing! A bilingual book, author Pat Mora lists various things one could be grateful…
