What Rachel's Reading: some general thoughts
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2011/08/some-general-thoughts.html
Thursday, August 11, 2011. I never stopped reading, but I did stop blogging. For almost ten months. I miss it, but I also miss having extra physical and mental energy, so there you have it. I'd like to return to blogging consistently but I don't know if that's possible, but in the meantime here's some miscellaneous reading goodness for you. A new Credenda/Agenda Magazine is out! And general mocking of various follies. Welcome back, Credenda. You've been missed. Have you signed up for Goodreads. Justin Ta...

What Rachel's Reading: August 2010
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 18, 2010. I found this from the sewing blog (with anti-establishment leanings) Angry Chicken. And immediately reserved it from my local library. I like graphic novels, even if I'm a little late to the party. I enjoy seeing how authors use the artwork and medium to say something new. Also, the sarcastic humor appeals to a Calvinist like me, and I thought this one was pretty funny. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. I'm also a contributor here.

What Rachel's Reading: May 2009
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. The Princess Bride: S. Morgensterns Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure. I grew up watching the movie so I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Princess Bride. But two things about the book surprised me: (1) its author and (2) its audience. The real author is William Goldman. A successful screenwriter who wrote Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. All the President's Men. Here's some dialogue, which might be familiar to you if you saw the movie. Here's an ex...

What Rachel's Reading: Something Borrowed
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2010/10/something-borrowed.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. It's a good story, but none of the characters are very exemplary and as such, Hollywood is releasing the movie next summer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I live in the Shenandoah Valley with my hunky husband and our two beautiful daughters. I'm a procrastinator who is looking forward to being made perfect in Heaven through the work of Jesus Christ.

What Rachel's Reading: September 2009
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Sally. Sunday, September 6, 2009. Well, back to Virginia at least. I'm not back to full energy or even back to myself for that matter, but I'm definitely feeling better. Basically, life with two little ones was kicking my butt, so I went to my parents house to rest and recharge. It was a wonderful visit. It was eye-opening, too. I had lots of help with my two little girls and was relieved of all cooking, cleaning, and household responsibilities and I was still. The Adventures of Sally.

What Rachel's Reading: January 2012
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Habibi, by Criag Thompson. Thursday, January 19, 2012. Here's a review of a graphic novel to kick things off. And let me just say- Whoa. I've read Craig Thompson's critically-praised earlier works, and if I were to use one word to describe Goodbye, Chunky Rice. It would be "bittersweet". Blankets. Would be "loss." If I were to use one word to describe Habibi. It would be "epic.". Actually, I might throw "tragedy" in there, too. Art on every page. The author must have learned Arabic to write this, and...

Just a general update. Thursday, December 3, 2009. Once I get a break though, watch out! I have a huge list of books I'm looking forward to reviewing. But for now, I'm going to go downstairs, savor a cup of coffee, and enjoy some excellent company. I hope wherever you are, Dear Reader, you are able to do the same. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-more.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. I just knew I'd forget one. When I wrote Christmas Roundup: Children's books. I had a feeling I was forgetting one. And I was. It was an impulse purchase at a local shop, and it was so beautiful I bought it right away. At full price! 5 One Starry Night. Image and blogged here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What Rachel's Reading: June 2009
http://whatrachelsreading.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. I had no desire to read this book originally. It seemed to be romanticizing a crazy dog with irresponsible owners, and I had a strong hunch that the dog died in the end. I hate. It when dogs die. Why would I want to read about that? Plus, this book was an easy reading top-seller, and I enjoy being contrary and ignoring popular trends. That's just me. Monday, June 15, 2009. Has anyone else read A Prayer for Owen Meany. If so, has anyone else found it fantastically boring? I won't ...
