One Woman, One Year, 200 Books
I promise it will be brief! An article called “Joyful Parenting” from Credenda Agenda. It is WONDERFUL. The kind of stuff nerds like me get passionate about: Fake Shakespeare. A daily dose of bookish fun: The Bibliophile’s Adventurers Club. If you ever wanted to ask me a question, any question, anonymously or not: Formspring.
I thought it might be amusing to post my grand plans for the summer here. I will let everyone know in August what percentage I managed to accomplish. If you would like to leave a comment guessing what that percent will be, I will reward the most accurate guesser with a book from my library [...]
Hi, I am back from the dead. The semester kicked my butt all over town and I’ve been missing out on everything. I have not been able to attend church because the entirety of my weekends have been devoted to homework. I have missed out on almost every single family dinner since January. I have [...]
….the semester finds me buried under books with no time for blogging. If I showed you my to-do list, you would sincerely pity me. I have much to write about but seriously no time. I am supposed to be preparing a presentation on Alexander Barclay’s The Shyppe of Fooles at this very moment. I will [...]

I’ve also recommended his work before but having just finished the concluding volume of his 100 Cupboards trilogy (100 Cupboards, Dandelion Fire, The Chestnut King), I have much more to say. [...]
Yes, it is school time again, and I am so busy with classes, homework, and teaching that I haven’t posted here in three weeks. I’m loving my work though, and am happy to be back in the thick of things again. I got so bored over the break that I scrubbed our toaster oven, inside [...]
So ya’all know I like to read. If you’ve thought about it, you probably guessed that I liked to read as a child. Well, I liked to read so much when I was a kid that I would get in trouble for it: when I should have been doing something else mostly. One of the [...]
My boys and I have been suffering from severe winter colds. Jared is teetering on the brink: sure to come down with one tonight or tomorrow. We don’t often get sick and for that I’m grateful. This is such a waste of time. I haven’t felt up to reading much and haven’t gotten any work [...]
