This is going to be a rollicking adventure, I can tell already! Fr Augustine Wetta is a great writer. Thanks for the book, Trey!

Okay, I have so many topics I'm going to want to follow up with from this book! Like what homemaking was like pre- industrial revolution and what inter-generational familial involvement looked like, as well. Also, I'm very grateful for having an involved and engaged mother who dedicated her life to raising me and my siblings.

I just finished ch 4: The Three Commandments, looking at the 3 main "tenets" of feminism, if you will. Obviously this book merely gives just the merest scratch of the surface when it comes to the intricacies and inner workings of the movement as a whole, but I find it fascinating.

This is a very interesting read. I just finished Part 1: The New Woman. It shows the rebellion against and systematic breakdown of the traditional understanding of woman from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. Feminism grew up alongside many ideologies that all intersected at certain points, like communism, modernism, and liberalism, and this book makes me want to learn more about them all.

Finished! It's too late at night to write a review, but I can write a note here.

This series was gripping to read, and I enjoyed it a lot! It definitely earned it's Teen rating though. Holy buckets, so much blood! But, it dealt with a post apocalyptic world where survival is a precarious road, as well as the brutality of war in an era of desperation and nihilism. Would recommend for older teens and adults. 👍

Finished chapter 1. This is a two volume set, and the first book is 4 chapters, roughly 600 pages.

It's very good so far! A lot more depth to the story than in the movie, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

It's been a while since my last reread. This is probably my favorite novel, and I'm very excited to settle in for a comfy coze with this dear old friend.

I've finished the third homily. These are so good! And there are many statements in the third one about the sanctity of human life that are well worth reading and sharing.

Finished part 1! It was very nicely wrapped up and leaves us excited to continue with part 2, 3 years later, with the first wedding.

I think I'm going to enjoy this quite a bit. I've always loved the reading of the creation story at the Easter Vigil; it has a beauty and almost magical quality to it that has stirred my heart every time I hear it. And I'm only half way though the first homily, but Pope Benedict XVI treats the subject so well, I'm excited to continue!

An audio book makes repetitive work go by quickly.
The March sisters have been very worried today about their father, sick with pneumonia, and Beth, who has scarlet fever. She seems to be coming out of it though. We'll see how she gets on now that Marmie is home.
