    If you haven't read Les Miserables, it definitely belongs on that list. :)

    Also, I'm partial to Lad of Sunnybank by Albert Payson Terhune (all of his books, really). I think they should be on more people's radar... so this is me, telling more people about him and recommending he go on your list! :)

      Thank you Jenelle, for the comment! I thought that I did have Les Miserables on the list, but I guess not. Lol
      I've never heard of Albert Payson Terhune before but will definitely look into his work - thanks for suggesting him!

    Hey Sara, I was trying to find a "contact" you page, but couldn't - I'm probably missing it somewhere super obvious - anyway, I'm taking part in a Black Friday sale with several other Indie Christian authors, and I was wondering if you might be interested in blogging about the sale? Every blogger who participates will be able to choose 5 free e-books as a thank you for your help in spreading the word! Please let me know if you're interested!

Good morning, blog family!  I am SO happy to share the questions to Kellie's  fun, and creative blog party!   I did this last year, and if you would like to read my answers, please  click here . <<<---Don't you just love this part in the movie?  I cry every time! :p I am composing/answering these questions with what read in 2014.  Next year it'll be with what I've read this year.  :)  Here are the questions and my answers. :)  Enjoy!   1. Introduce yourself! Divulge your life's vision, likes dislikes, aspirations, or something completely random! Well hello!  My name is Sarah and this is my second year attending Kellie's online party.  The first year  was SO much fun I just had to come back for more!  My life's vision is to honor and glorify my Savoir and King with everything that I say, think and do.  As I pray that part of God's will for me will include marriage and ch...

New moth, new verse

It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be ...

Sunshine Award!

I was tagged in the Sunshine Award by the lovely  Heidi  over at her blog, Along the Brandywire: A Bit of All the Rest. I may sound like a real geek, but I love these kinds of things; the questions, the answers, every thing about them just makes me smile. :-) So, here are my questions and answers. :-) 1. If you could time travel, would you rather visit medieval England or 1800's Paris? I would have to say Paris in the 1800's.  I'd love to just walk around and observe the fashion and buildings. 2. For relaxation: G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, or neither? Well, seeing as how I've never read any of G.K. Chesterton's work, I'm gonna  go with C.S. Lewis.  I think even if I knew who G.K. Chesterton was, I'd still pick C.S. Lewis because he's one of my favorites.  3. Do you enjoy pie baking? Do you have a favorite kind (apple, cherry, etc.)? I love to bake, but I'm actually not a big fan of pies. ...
