I forgot how much I loved Prince Caspian. The more I reread this series, the more I realize that as much as I love The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and as much as it was the gateway to reading the rest of this series, it is not my favorite Narnia book. One of … Continue reading Narnia Reread: Prince Caspian

Narnia Reread: The Horse and His Boy
Growing up, The Horse and His Boy was my least favorite Narnia book. I don't remember why—maybe because it's not about Narnians or because it takes place when the Pevensies are grown up—but I never connected to the story like I did with almost all of the other books. So I was excited to finally reread … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Horse and His Boy
Narnia Reread: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The second box in Pixie Dust Official's Narnia inspired boxes was, of course, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. For a long time, this was my favorite of the Narnia books, probably because it was the most well-known and the first in the series to be published. I've always felt a special connection to Lucy … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Narnia Reread: The Magician’s Nephew
For years, I've wanted to reread The Chronicles of Narnia. I think the last time I read them was around 2010 when the Voyage of the Dawn Treader film was released. (But I might have only reread that one, I can't remember!) Every year, though, I find myself putting them off to read or reread … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Magician’s Nephew
Book Review: Honeybees and Frenemies by Kristi Wientge
When I was a kid, I would read the same books over and over again. I don't know if it's because I wasn't aware of other books or if I just clung to those characters and their adventures because they enchanted me. If Honeybees and Frenemies by Kristi Wientge had been available to read when … Continue reading Book Review: Honeybees and Frenemies by Kristi Wientge
Book Review: Adventures with Waffles by Maria Parr
It's obvious why I had to read this book. Adventures with Waffles sounds like the perfect book for a blog about waffles, and it was tons of fun! Trille and his best friend, Lena, are always getting themselves into trouble with their crazy adventures. But Trille doesn't mind the trouble because he loves sharing everything … Continue reading Book Review: Adventures with Waffles by Maria Parr

There are so many to choose from, definitely more than ten. But since today is Tuesday, here are ten books or book series I absolutely cannot wait to … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want to Read to My Future Children
Top Ten Tuesdays: Hidden Gems in Christian Fiction
I grew up reading a lot of "Christian" books, and I've come to learn that books under the "Christian Fiction" genre have been given a stigma. They have too many flaws. Or they are too preach-y. Or the writing falls flat, the characters are "too" perfect or "too" imperfect. Basically, it winds down to Christian … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesdays: Hidden Gems in Christian Fiction
