I’m on a mission. Actually I’m on a mission now for the second year in a row. It’s simple, truly: read all the books I already own. But let me tell you about the rabbit trails . . . I’m just kidding. We don’t have time for that. But let’s just say, I have a new rule about going to […]
Jane of Austin – A Book Review
The Bookshop of Yesterdays – A Book Review
I’m unimpressed and disappointed. While I considered writing this as a Mini-View instead of a full review, I decided this book warranted a full discussion. We’ll get into the whys below (yes, there is a plurality of reasons unfortunately), but I can summarize by saying it is an emphatic no to the question of whether you should read this book. Sad […]
Don Alonzo Taylor – An Author Review
In my attempts to find enjoyable, clean, and well-written literature for young men, I have been troubled and unsure of where to turn to being my searches.

Muses From the Moon – A Book Review
grace truth: even when the sky doesn’t open sweetly you can still find grace growing from somewhere. I avoided poetry for a very long time. I appreciated literature as a child, growing up in a home where books were read-aloud every night and spending every free moment drinking in every Nancy Drew mystery and Janette Oke book I […]
I Didn’t Pick Up a Book for Six Weeks . . .
For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven . . . I am a bibliophile through and through. If you cut me, I might bleed ink, to be perfectly honest. However, this year has marked a new level of reading obsession. I met my mark for the number of books I wanted to read […]

Thoughts . . . even though I haven’t read the book. Or seen the movie. 🙂 Where the Crawdads Sing lay in wait only momentarily for Reese Witherspoon to pick it up and read the now-famous story within its covers. In fact, it was actually only one month after publishing that Witherspoon read and praised the novel. Fast-forward to the […]
