So what are the Moms reading for a little Mother Culture these days? Please do come and share with us here!
“We should always have something worth while to think about, that we may not let our minds dwell upon unworthy matters.” ~Charlotte Mason
“We should continually take our minds out of the ‘laundry bag’ of domestic perplexities, and give it a fragrant soaping, a rainwater rinsing, and a sunny airing in that which it keeps growing.” ~Karen Andreola
Book of James
History of the Ancient World by Susan Wise Bauer (great read)
Blood and Iron: Building the Railway – story about a father and boy who leave China to come to British Columbia in an effort to solve money troubles. Explores living conditions and racial tensions. It’s taken from the journal of the boy and translated – fascinating
and, for fun, Lord of the Rings!
1000 Gifts: Dare to live fully right where you are, Ann Voskamp (one of the best books I’ve ever read.)
THe power of Motherhood, Nancy Campbell (a Bible study from the Above Rubies folks)
lots of varied gardening books to get ready for the garden!
oh, and I just read Gluten Free Girl and the Chef by Shauna and Daniel Ahern. (a few good recipes. didn’t really care for the text…)
Almost finished with “Kim” by Rudyard Kipling (my father was named after the main character in this book) this has taken me a long while to get through!
Just finished reading an easy-read novel called “Daughter of the Loom”. Mainly about how the effects of the industrial revolution affected a young woman and her family when “it came” to her town.
Also slowly reading through a devotional called “Jesus Calling” that is really speaking to me in the area of my personal, intimate relationship with the Lord.
The Disappearing Spoon–a book about the elements on the periodic table
A Red Herring Without Mustard–murder mystery featuring an eleven-year-old chemistry whiz
All the Fun’s In How You Say a Thing: An Explanation of Meter and Versification

Blessings!
One of the best books I’ve read over the past year was “Same Kind of Different as Me” by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. I also read quite a few “cozy mysteries” that might border on twaddle
but they are light enough that they help me go to sleep when my mind is racing. Now my husband and I are about to start building a house (literally us doing it) so construction books are taking up most of our time!Titus Comrade of the Cross (Lamplighter).
I need to make more time for that “mother culture” these days :(.
