Rachel's Contrition Giveaway
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in Reviews on Monday, October 25, 2010
Are you looking for great fiction? How about great Catholic fiction? Well, look no further.
Rachel’s Contrition, by Michelle Buckman, has been making some waves on Amazon, rating first in women’s fiction on the Feast of the Holy Rosary this year (October 7).
There’s a reason it made number one. This is a book that not only begs a reviewer to use words like “riveting,” “powerful,” and even “awesome,”... READ MORE
Win 'The Death Panels'
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in Reviews on Monday, October 18, 2010
I’m a big fan of Michelle Buckman‘s, and I’m tickled to share one of her two new novels, The Death Panels, with everyone here.
Brace yourself before you pick this book up. It’s not light reading, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to already recommending it to everyone I know.
Death Panels builds a world that my children could live in, a world that’s not so far from possible. It takes the most dangerous... READ MORE

My Rosary Top Ten
Posted by Sarah Reinhard in Faith on Friday, October 08, 2010
This week has been a great blessing to me. I have really benefited from the insight and wisdom in the comments. Thank you to everyone for being so gracious and welcoming!
Today I’m collecting my top ten rosary resources for you. This list isn’t exhaustive, and I had to leave a lot of things off of it. Being a tad bit obsessive compulsive, I knew that if I didn’t draw the line at a certain number (like... READ MORE
Go Away, Book. Go Away!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Wednesday, September 29, 2010
A while ago I asked about children’s books you love, which led to a thread full of suggestions. It’s been very helpful to me on our library visits.
But - as I’m sure we’ve all experienced - not all literature is created equal, even literature for little people.
I always cringe when my daughter heads for the rack of made-from-TV books. You know the ones: books that consist of the storyline and pictures... READ MORE
Stimulate with Literature
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Friday, September 24, 2010
Here’s a great article: “How to Raise Boys Who Read.”
It’s full of common sense, and the crux seems about right to me: “The secret to raising boys who read, I submit, is pretty simple—keep electronic media, especially video games and recreational Internet, under control (that is to say, almost completely absent). Then fill your shelves with good books.”
Read the whole thing here. Especially if you have boys of your own.

Worth Having Around
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, August 31, 2010
I was tidying Isabel’s nursery today and realized, as I added books to her second book basket, that I have a weakness for books. I am practical about things and stuff and I can get rid of just about any other item around this house. But when it comes time to purge, rarely can I justify ditching a book.
(I sort of feel this way about shoes, too, but somehow I can rally and get rid of them here and there.)
What about you. How would you finish the following statement: You can never have too many ____________?
