I am pretty sure that The Swamp Fox, Francis Marion was on my to-be-read shelves longer than any other book I currently own.  I believe I b...

This is sad and melancholy and was hard to read.  I'm glad I randomly read it because I wanted to finish off a hardcover anthology and n...

My husband got me this book for my birthday, and it is a visual treat!  Oodles and oodles of drawings and paintings by Tolkien, mainly relat...

I know I read this at least once as a teen.  I remembered basically none of it.  In fact, I actually misremembered things about it -- I thou...

I loved this book even more the second time through.  Its simplicity, straightforwardness, and gentleness impressed me so much the first tim...

I'm coming close to the end of my personal "My Years with the Sacketts" challenge.  Only one true Sackett novel left, and one ...

This book felt like what you'd get if Neil Gaiman and C. S. Lewis co-wrote a novel.  It's sometimes eerie and dark, sometimes just w...

It's so convenient that Tell Sackett is my favorite Sackett, because L'Amour uses Tell as his narrator for a LOT of the Sackett book...

I have a rule for myself: I have to wait five years between rereads of The Westing Game .  I've had that rule since I first read it 30is...

I liked this one all right.  It was an enjoyable and fast-paced read, but I didn't love it.  I'm not sure why, either, as the story ...

I didn't grow up knowing the story of Beowulf.  I'd heard the name and knew it was some kind of Norse legend or something, but my fi...

Not my favorite Sackett book, I'm afraid.  Even though it stars Tell Sackett, who IS my favorite Sackett!  Mostly, I think I disliked it...

Two Sackett boys that I first met in The Sackett Brand  are the heroes for The Sky-Liners .  Flagan and Galloway Sackett are about to head w...

Ladies and gentlemen, I now have a favorite Sackett, and his name is Tell. I am probably going to have to go back and reread Sackett  and Mo...

Way back when I was ten or so, By the Great Horn Spoon! was the first Sid Fleischman book I ever encountered.  My mom read it aloud to my b...

I decided to read this because it had Chantrys in it, and I had just reread Borden Chantry , which remains my favorite L'Amour book.  Wh...

This is one of the best fiction books I have read that concerns the Civil Rights Movement and was actually written during the 1960s.  A fath...

I say!  This book is a rollicking good time.  It's all about Tell Sackett again, star of the earlier book Sackett , but this time he get...
