Amazon Print Deal

Hey, there is an Amazon print deal going on, ending July 17th, TUESDAY (tomorrow or today)! Save $5 on print book orders of $20 or more. The two tricks to it is that books have to ship from Amazon and not a third party vendor, and you need to enter promo code PRIMEBOOKS18 at checkout to qualify.

PS. Yes, I’m an Amazon Affiliate. I might get a slight finder fee from Amazon at absolutely no cost to you whatsoever if you purchase after following one of my links. See full disclosure on my sidebar or About page.

PPS. SOME of the books on my wishlist seem to be marked down for Amazon Prime Days, but not too many. 🙁 Of course, ha, I’m not actually a Prime member, so feel free to check for yourselves, too, whether you’re a Primer or not.

Happy reading and writing!

Biblical perspective

Do you ever like to just chew on a perspective? If you’re in such a mood, then read this article by Rev. Wolfmueller. Then, apply it to advice writers are often given: “Show me, don’t tell me” or “Write from the heart.” Consider parallels and differences.

I hope to find time to do that myself. 😉

Homeschooling book lists?

Would I be crazy if I tried to put together homeschooling book lists? I’m thinking about thirty books a year, allowing repeats, for various ages.

Do they already exist somewhere? Wouldn’t such lists be handy?

I want to put together a Lutheran homeschooling resource page for my website. Anything else you’d like to see on there? (But, sorry, I’m not up for reviewing curriculum!)
