Mailbag: Our Best Resources for Book Lovers

Monday Mailbag Q&A

I’m using Mondays to clean out my mailbag by posting messages that may be of general interest, like this one I received last week from a fellow bibliophile about resources for book lovers:

Jennifer, your “book reviews” page is blank! ? Hoping it’s just a glitch.
I’m so thankful to have found your website. Lots of good info, resources, and real encouragement.
God bless!
Doris

Well, Doris was right. That page was blank… but not anymore! I fixed the glitch, so you can now peruse everything I’ve ever posted in my “recent reads” category.

Unfortunately, although I finish about a book a week on average, I’m nowhere near that faithful in publishing reviews of what I’ve read.

To help me stay more consistent, I plan to go back to publishing a monthly listing of books I’ve recently finished and what I think of each title. Look for a list of my February favorites later this week.

In the meantime, fellow bookworms will also enjoy the following posts.

Our best resources for book lovers:

  • Reading Challenge for All Ages

    Use this free printable A-Z reading list to inspire yourself or your kids to branch out a bit in your reading selections.

    Reading Challenge for All Ages

  • Reading Rewards for Kids

    Although some of these programs are only offered during the summer months, others are available year round. Most of my own children have aged out of many of these rewards programs, but I still update this list every summer and sign up my grandkids!

    Showcase Cinema

  • Free Bookmarks for Fellow Bibliophiles

    I’ve published lots of bookmark options in the past. We have something that would appeal to almost every possible taste.

    Reading Rewards

  • Build your Home Library with Free Books

    Here are my favorite ways to score free books for your home library. Whether you prefer print, digital, or audio books, there’s something here for everyone.

    My Reader Rewards

I’ve discovered two new free-book programs I LOVE since I originally wrote that last post:

The first is My Reader Rewards. I’ve earned dozens of brand new books and Bibles from this program since first joining it a few years back — all totally free (you don’t even have to pay for shipping!)

And for those of you who prefer audiobooks to print, I’d recommend getting on the mailing list for Christian Audio. They send subscribers a link for a free, no-strings-attached audiobook every single month. Some months it’s an old classic, some months a popular new release. I’ve been blessed by every title I’ve gotten through them. If you’re a huge audiobook fan, you’ll find that even their membership club and the titles they have for sale are very competitively priced.

If those posts aren’t enough to keep you busy, check out some of the books listed in our past book reviews. Those reviews include lots of family-friendly selections that are perfect for reading aloud, as well as various curricula we’ve tried with our homeschooling.

And you’ll find more of my favorite book lists on my other site, Loving Life at Home:

  • 5 Must-Read Books for Women Who Think (books on feminism)
  • 5 More Books for Women Who Think (more on feminism)
  • Postponing Motherhood (books on birth control & family planning)
  • Recommended Reads – Top 10 of 2018 (an eclectic collection of the books I most enjoyed last year)
  • Stating the Obvious: Men & Women are Different (books about sex differences)

Talk about perfect timing!  #flandersfamilytravels
Heading off on another grand new adventure today — this time to Indiana, with a stop in Little Rock for dinner at The Mellow Mushroom. Yum! #flandersfamilyeats #flandersfamilytravels #roadtrip

We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone as gregarious as Rebekah finds this “don’t talk to me” meme so hilarious (see my last post for pictures), as she is an amazing conversationalist and always has been.  I even thought about stitching a disclaimer on the back of the Christmas sweater (my gift to her) that read: “These dogs may be anti-social, but I love meeting new people, so introduce yourself!”  #strikeupaconversation
So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated fro So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated from nursing school, her sister/roommate Bethany came up with a plan that the whole family should memorialize her accomplishment with hand-crafted gifts featuring a meme that — for whatever reason — totally cracks Bekah up. Here’s the results of our labors ( minus the doggie-embellished flower pot Beth gave her early. I didn’t get a picture of that one). 
Next batch of photos, I’ll share Bekah’s reaction to the gifts. Spoiler: She loved them!.  #flandersfamilycreates

Celebrating our newest UTTyler graduate 👩‍🎓: We couldn’t be prouder of our tender-hearted Rebekah. She loves the LORD, cares deeply about others, and is going to make a fantastic nurse. Keep up the good work @flander.7 ❤️❤️  #classof22 #uttyler #nursingschool
I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics from our family’s recent stay in Cleburne (with a day trip to the Fort Worth Zoo).  There are so many fun, free things to do in Cleburne! Our favorite? The free community showing of the at the @laylandmuseum of the classic film Charade (starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant) with free popcorn, saltwater taffy, and bottled root beer provided by @trovatostreet. What a treat! We’re so glad our trip coincided with this monthly event.  #flandersfamilytravels
