I don't remember if I've linked to Supratentorial's Read Aloud posts before, but if I haven't, I should have, because her recommendations often form the bulk of our requested-books haul from the library. Here's one that focuses on non-fiction Cybil-nominated books.
momco3 (of "Learning As We Go" fame) has a new blog that's strictly reviews of YA books. It's called "If You Liked That". I especially like her review of "The Hunger Games"; I think she's right on about who would be living in the Capital.
A little late for this year, but Know Tea's post on celebrating all twelve days of Christmas is a good one to read with next year's celebration in mind - and I especially like the keen observation about Dickens' Christmas ghosts.
Simcha Fisher's post "Bene, Bene, Bene" is, like its title, full of goodness.
A great article on the question, "should I marry a man who struggles with pornography?" Moore points out that the answer doesn't depend on the presence of the temptation, it's how the temptation is met:
What you need is not a sinless man. You need a man deeply aware of his sin and of his potential for further sin. You need a man who can see just how capable he is of destroying himself and your family. And you need a man with the wisdom to, as Jesus put it, gouge out whatever is dragging him under to self-destruction.Yep. Whatever the particular struggle, the person to marry isn't the sinless one, because, welcome to Earth, you won't find someone like that. If you're going to get married, you're going to get married to a sinner. But you want to marry a sinner who knows how to repent. And who runs from temptation and towards Jesus. (And remember that whoever marries you is picking a sinner too.)
I think I linked to Geek Chic's Start Trek fashion post, but this one about outfits inspired by Doctor Who is EVEN BETTER. Yes, yes I do want to dress like the TARDIS. Thank you.
So, what good stuff have you found around the web this week?
Peace of Christ to you,
