We are starting the year off with the first book of Marie's forgotten childhood favorites, "Mandy and the Secret Tunnel" by Lois Gladys Leppard. This Christian book series starts off a bit grim, but quickly shifts into a fun mystery series inspired by the author's own family.

We are back for the second part of our discussion of the first (or second) book in the Chronicles of Narnia! The second half of the book has a lot more to cover, and did raise a few literary questions for Marie as you will soon hear. But we loved it all the same. (This may also lead to more discussion of the series. But that will be another episode!)

Travel with us through the wardrobe in the classic story by C. S. Lewis! This is one of Karla's favorites, and somehow Marie's first time reading the book. We had so much to cover and talk about. Enjoy part one of our discussion, and we'll see you again in part two!

Karla brings her very well loved copy of this week's read to the Thanksgiving table, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. Definitely a classic, and a book commonly read in schools. Join us as we see what chaos Wilber and his friends can cause this episode!

We weren't big readers for scary stories, but we loved mysteries! Marie's pick this month has a mystery about a ghost, so it's a great introduction to a spookier genre!

Marie's book this episode is Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. The classic tale of Cinderella gets a new spin with a relatable protagonist and still all the romance of a fairy tale!

We pick up our discussion of Karla's favorite books, Anne of Green Gables. This is a much longer book than most we could pick, and there is so much to talk about still!

Join us for part one of our discussion of Karla's favorite book, "Anne of Green Gables" by L. M. Montgomery. This is a much longer book than we anticipated, and in the first part of our talk we cover a lot of chapters that work well for younger readers.

This episode Marie brought one of her favorite books in, "101 Ways to Bug Your Parents" by Lee Wardlaw. Despite the title, the book is a very good coming of age book with a whole cast of characters to enjoy.

In our first episode, we read one of Karla's favorites, "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" by Judy Blume. This book is a time capsule of a different decade, but is still enjoyable today!
