When Gods Die by C.S. Harris My rating: 4 of 5 stars Library. I liked this book as well as the first. For most of the book, I thought I liked it better. I found the resolution a bit confusing – the motives and explanation of how the plot shook out seemed a little lightly…
I’ve been reading the Sebastian St. Cyr novels by CS Harris. (Truth be told as I write this Tuesday night I’m right in the middle of the second, but have the third on deck from the library and may request book 4 & 5 to pick up Thursday because I will finish 2 either tonight…
What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris My rating: 4 of 5 stars Library I have a somewhat unsophisticated love for novels set in 1800s England and modern gothic romances. I blame it on my high school obsessed reading of Victoria Holt, Susan Howatch, and Phyllis Whitney. Mary Stewart came later, but is just as engrossing. …
I had another passage from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH all chosen and ready to go. And then, today, I finished The Liberal Arts Tradition – finally after four weeks of saying I hoped to finish it. The book is excellent, but not for the feint of heart … I posted my review…
The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education by Kevin Clark My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own. I had high hopes for The Liberal Arts Tradition and Clark and Jain did not disappoint. I loved the way they made education – paideia – part of an integrated Christian life rooted in piety…
Welcome to the new WWW! I’m so looking forward to reading about what you’re reading and learning from the ideas that you choose to share with us! I’ve added a little explanation at the top of the link-up, but thought I’d also share it in the main blog post as we’re getting started: Wednesdays with…
Starting in the next couple of weeks I hope to revive Cindy’s Wednesdays with Words linkup (with her generous, kind “you go, Girl” blessings, I might add). I hadn’t thought to post any words today, but our dinnertime read aloud provided the perfect thing. We’re reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert…
Code of Silence by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. I would probably give this one 3.5 stars; I thought it was the weakest of the books. I still enjoyed it. It was less a mystery and more suspense. There was one particularly difficult scene. I had a much…
Watches of the Night by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. I started this one shortly after finishing Out of the Ruins. It took me a little longer than other reading as I got distracted by an Elisabeth Elliott book and my friend Mystie’s book at the same time….
Out of the Ruins by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. Wow. I’m, once again, wishing I were reading the next Ben Reese Mystery instead of writing a review. Ben has returned to the States after a sabbatical in Scotland (where he’s solved two murders). He’s headed to the…
