We love Weight of a Mass. Have you read Take it to the King? I'm a new follower from Catholic Mothers Online. Please stop by and return the favor.
Jen~this is such a lovely book list that you have going. What a great selection. Do you find that some of the older ones don't like to be "read to" anymore?
wow, great list~ I'll be checking some of these out! Thanks for the "There's a book" blog link. Haven't seen that one.
Hi Jen~ Oops, that last comment (Hank) was from me. I was accidentally signed in under my son's name. Meant to also thank you for the blog pages tip. I'm going to give it a try when I get a chance!
The Blueberrys for the Queen sounds interesting. Great list. I do think that the "Royal Bee" recommendation was from your list- I realized that was a book that had a lapsed hold at the library from a while back that I renewed. We really enjoyed it!
