This was one of those books that took me longer to get through - but not in a bad way! It was almost frustratingly hilarious. At one point, my kindle estimated that it would take me 5 hours to finish a chapter. Cue the facepalm. Mostly because I loved this book, and real life should … Continue reading Book Review: An Hour Unspent
It's been some time since I wrote any kind of editorial on my blog, but I feel that this particular issue is pressing and relevant. Especially in light of my recent experiences with high school students. A few months ago, I began substitute teaching with the local school district. One afternoon, I went in for … Continue reading Here’s The Thing About Fake News
Since I read A Name Unknown, I've been looking forward to reading A Song Unheard. Roseanna M. White is quickly becoming one of my new favorite writers. Her stories are engaging, the romances are interesting, and her messages are fitting. As I'm finishing this review, I'm beginning to read An Hour Unspent. If It's anything … Continue reading Book Review: A Song Unheard
At 5:08am, my phone started to buzz. It's been ringing off the hook the last few days as I've been finishing the process for substitute teaching. But once it rang, I was awake, which led me to think, "Why not finish off that book you've been reading?" And so, it was in the early hours … Continue reading Book Review: The Patriot Bride
Several months ago, someone recommended Michelle Griep's The Captive Heart and it was such a great story about colonial America, native relations and indentured servants. It resonated with me and reminded me of other great reads from the period. So when I got the opportunity to review The Captured Bride, I was looking forward to it. … Continue reading Book Review: The Captured Bride
I was looking forward to reading this book from the moment I heard about it. Her last few series have been centered around B-19 pilots, the Nightingales, the WAVES, and now, three brothers, estranged before the war and brought together by an event: D-Day. And so begins the first book, The Sea Before Us, from … Continue reading Book Review: The Sea Before Us
I am so thrilled with all the great feedback we've gotten for this blog series! I hope you all have enjoyed this particular approach to reading. But if you're not quite ready to leave yet, I've been working to make this series extremely "pinnable." There's a board you can visit for links to all of … Continue reading American History Through Christian Fiction Resources
I'm going to try and be a bit more broad-sweeping with this, since the Cold War is a bit all encompassing when it comes to the second half of the twentieth century. It takes it's name from the fact that very little direct conflict took place, but rather, a mindset - a fear of Communism … Continue reading 1945-1991 The Cold War
After The Great War, the world pondered how to prevent such a large scale tragedy again. They came up with two primary solutions. The first, was the brainchild of President Woodrow Wilson and what would become the League of Nations (later the United Nations). The second was to severely punish Germany for escalating the conflict. … Continue reading 1939-1945 World War Two
To think that the Great Depression all started with the pursuit of the American Dream might surprise you, but that's essentially what happened, and it's not all that different from what happened with Great Recession of the 2000s. During the 1920s, the good life seemed just within reach. A new game of sorts began - … Continue reading 1929-1939 The Great Depression
