Just in case you want to read back through them (I'm always happy to go back and discuss these) or are curious about how I run my read-alongs. The Hound of the Baskervilles. The Old Man and the Sea. The Lord of the Rings. What do you think? Rudeness and vulgar language will not be tolerated.). And the Winners are.

The Edge of the Precipice: "The Mark of Zorro" by Johnston McCulley
http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mark-of-zorro-by-johnston-mcculley.html
Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. Saturday, May 31, 2014. The Mark of Zorro" by Johnston McCulley. I've been a Zorro fan for most of my life. At a rummage sale when I was probably 8 or 9, I found an old picture book based on the Disney TV show, Zorro. I loved the show the most, as Guy Williams suited my adolescent self, with his bright smile and sly quips. There was a Zorro. It's such a zesty, fun-loving sort of story, e...

The Edge of the Precipice: "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" by Howard Pyle
http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-merry-adventures-of-robin-hood-by.html
Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" by Howard Pyle. Oh, how I wish I'd read this book when I was younger! Not that I didn't love and appreciate it now, because I did, but because I could have enjoyed it so many times by now. Cried Robin to the Miller; whereupon he turned slowly, with the weight of the bag upon his shoulder, and looked at each in turn all bewil...

The Edge of the Precipice: "Hondo" by Louis L'Amour
http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2013/09/hondo-by-louis-lamour.html
Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Hondo" by Louis L'Amour. Under a quiet sky the planet turned, and horses ate, and men slept, and death waited for morning (p. 97). For months now he had seemed like somebody who had never really been. Like someone who had walked across the page of her life and left no tracks (p. 119). If this was a movie, I would rate it:. PG for western violence. Actually, t...

The Edge of the Precipice: To-Read List
http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/p/my-to-read-list.html
Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. I've decided it's better to keep this here, where there's less chance of it being suddenly deleted, than on the library's site, GoodReads, in a notebook, and on Amazon. All in one place is better! Actors Talk About Shakespeare. By Mary Z. Maher. All the Light We Cannot Sea. American Women and WWII. The Arvon Book of Crime and Thriller Writing. By Michelle Spring and Laurie R. King. By Mi...

Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. Monday, June 22, 2015. A Snicker of Magic" by Natalie Lloyd. I believe it was Kara of Flowers of Quiet Happiness. Who first brought this book to my attention. But I can't find her post about it to link to here. ANYWAY! What kind of magic is this? Other magic involves ice cream that brings back memories, music only a few people can hear, memories captured inside objects. no spells cas...

Hamlette's Soliloquy: Who Am I?
http://hamlette.blogspot.com/p/who-am-i.html
Revealing my thoughts about movies, writing, and life to the audience. Movie and TV Reviews. It strikes me that I should have a more complete bio somewhere than just what's listed in the "About Me" thingie on my sidebar. Something a little more specific, maybe. Something that gives you an idea of where I'm coming from when I write all this stuff on my blog. So here goes. I'm a wife. Cowboy and I have been married since 2002, and mighty happily so. Which you can read on the fansite I co-run, Fruit Salad.

The Edge of the Precipice: "Five Enchanted Roses" edited by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2015/07/five-enchanted-roses-edited-by-anne.html
Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Five Enchanted Roses" edited by Anne Elisabeth Stengl. This book marks a first for me! It's the first time I have ever received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion of the book. I can see how this could get addicting :-). Is a collection of five retellings of the fairy tale about Beauty and the Beast. It's a follow-up to last year's Five Glass Slippers.

The Edge of the Precipice: "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" by Laurie R. King
http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-beekeepers-apprentice-by-laurie-r.html
Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother. Women's Classic Literature Event. Prospective and Planned Read-Alongs. Friday, February 28, 2014. The Beekeeper's Apprentice" by Laurie R. King. This is one of my top ten favorite books. It's written by one of my top three favorite authors. So I think saying "I love this book" fails to do it justice. This is the fourth time I've read it, and I never tire of it! The story begins this way:. Why do I love this book so much? Partly because I see a lot of myself...
