Book Review - Egyptology

We finished reading Egyptology today.  This is a beautifully presented book in the form of the journal of Miss Emily Sands, who sets out to Egypt in 1926 to try to discover the whereabouts of the lost tomb of Osiris. Like a real travel journal, it contains lots of postcards, memorabilia and other […]

Audiobook Review - Anne of Green Gables

 We seem to have been in the car a lot lately. Luckily, we have had Anne of Green Gables with us, and she has made it a pleasure. 
We listened to unabridged versions which I downloaded from Audible (I have listed them below) but there are several versions on itunes or free from Librivox.

The Wind Singer

We went away for the weekend this week and grabbed some audiobooks from the library before we went. The one we decided on was The Wind Singer  by William Nicholson (read by Samuel West).
