The Bears on Hemlock Mountain E-Guide (Progeny Press) {Review}
If you were to ask me what the one most important part of our homeschool day would be, I would not hesitate to respond with something along the line of books, our reading.

Price of Privilege Trilogy by Jessica Dotta {Review}
It is hard to believe that it was actually a few years ago when I first read Born of Persuasion, the first in the Price of Privilege Trilogy by Jessica Dotta. I craved every page turn and enjoyed the entire novel from beginning to end. While it happened into my reading scheduled during a tough season in my life, I adored the novel. Being transported back to 1838 I was able to spend a few days captivated into a story filled with mystery of the past and secrets. This is completely an Austin meets Bronte novel that would appeal to many readers and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and dive…

Minstrel in the Tower E-Guide (Progeny Press) {Review}

Bride of a Distant Isle (Daughters of Hampshire) by Sandra Byrd {Review}
Last year, I found myself captivated by the writing in ‘s first book in the new Daughter of Hampshire series. I knew from reading that one as well as others in the past of Sandra’s historicals that I needed to plan some time. When I read Sandra’s books I’m not satisfied with a few minutes and done. I want to sit and pour in the details and get enveloped within the story. I have found that to be completely true once again with this latest book, Bride of a Distant Isle. Intrigue, friendship, romance, hardship, pride, adventure, feminist independence, and gentlemanly flirtations all reside within these pages. In addition to…
