       The book on my "bedside table" that I will read for this month is.........

The Tale of Holly How (Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter Mysteries)
     I am posting the February letter early for those who did not start the January one or for those who are already looking forward to their next selection.
     If you have not finished the previous month's book....keep plugging away and do the next letter when you are done....or skip a letter altogther.   
       Post this on your blog, if you have one........and/or leave a comment on this post, stating that you are joining in.....and what book you have chosen for this month. Please post a picture of your stack!

      When you are finished reading....share a few thoughts about the book, if you wish. I will post a new letter each month.....probably in the last week of the month.......
      If you have more than one title starting with the letter.......just choose one.....or choose the one first that is first in alphabetical order.
     Are you in??? Please join me!  Join in anytime.......

    1. Are you getting some reading in, Roxie? Congrats on finishing up the Mythologies!

      Is Three Came Home a conversion story?

  5. Oh my I am bad bad bad I have not even begun the book ! No Chari it is a book about a family who were imprisoned during the occupation of Borneo . Sent to different prison camps and their survival and return home . I'm sure survival had alot to do with enduring faith etc. ☺
    I just picked up the unschooling book yesterday and no holds on it either so I've got it for three weeks . I'm starting it tonight .
    I am still very much a lapsed catholic but feel called as I always do to journey through lent . I love lent I come out so heatly and refreshed !
    I have found I was being nudged into walking with ST.IGnatius so have The Spiritual Exercies of ST. Ignatius right here beside me . I will begin on Ash Wed. I think this is a nice way to honour Fr.Pinto who died just before Christmas as he was a Jesuit before jopining S.O.L.T and I believe the formation of the Disciples of Jesus and Mary were founded on these spiritual exercies . I even began attending mass again after beginning to walk with Kateri this year . anyway , sorry getting a bit personal .
    I shall try to get into the book this week .

  6. I don't have a blog so I thought I would come here and list the books I read.

    The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield - Fiction, very dark, almost depressing book, story of very disordered love and lives led because of it
    Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis - Lewis's retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth, very good
    The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi - Fiction, teen book, kept me turning the pages through to the end
    THREE CUPS OF TEA by Greg Mortenson - autobiography - This book didn't really set well with me. I don't know if I could put my finger on why though.

    For March, I am starting with "Homeschooling : A Family's Journey" by Gregory and Martine Millman.

    You are both in my prayers,
    Michelle
