If you were to ask me to name one author that is a true classic writer but is not as recognized as she should be, I would name Katherine Paterson. Her writing is raw and beautiful, and she is a wonderful storyteller for children, or anyone else who reads her books.

A book log is a way to track the number of books you read, when you read them, and what you thought of them. My book log is one of my very favorite notebooks to look back on. I strongly encourage you to keep one too.

Hello, hello!

My name is Annabelle, and I'm passionate about revealing the beauty and truth of stories all around us!

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story
-those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.
Psalms 107:2
