Narnia. It almost doesn’t seem possible that there are people who still haven’t read the books, but I know that good books get lost in the shuffle sometimes.

Sadly, most of these books have gone out of print, but you may still be able to find some through inter-library loans. I’m not gonna go through all twenty-six books in this post, so here are a few of my favorites. Read the rest of this entry »

When I think of “Historical Fiction” I tend to think of either romance, or things set in medieval times or the Revolutionary war. Here are some great books from other time periods that keep the romance to a minimum and have wonderful stories. Read the rest of this entry »

Did you know that you can boost your Read-a-Thon page count by reading aloud to younger siblings (or kids you babysit or what have you)? It’s a great way to introduce them to some of your favorites and increase your Read-a-Thon score at the same time. Here are three longer children’s books for starters: Read the rest of this entry »
