The Chronicles of Narnia

I have always held The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis close to my heart. The series blends rich theological symbolism, timeless storytelling, and imaginative world-building. Growing up, I fondly remember watching the original BBC adaptation, which filled my childhood with wonder and adventure. Recently, I reconnected with the story in a whole new way through the audiobook version. Listening to the narration brought the magical land of Narnia to life once again, allowing me to appreciate its epic battles and moral lessons from a fresh perspective. This timeless classic continues to captivate me, just as it did when I was a child. Narnia fan? What are some of your favorite memories from watching the BBC version? 

 The Sword of Denis Anwyck by Maylan Schurch was one of my favorite books as a preteen. I loved how Denis Anwyck’s thrilling quest mirrored my own dreams of adventure and heroism. The challenges he faced and the triumphs he achieved felt so relatable, almost like they were reflecting my own emotional and social journeys. Schurch’s vivid world-building and dynamic storytelling completely drew me in, making it hard to put the book down. The combination of relatable themes and exciting adventures made it a cherished part of my childhood. .

How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind by Dana K. White has been a game-changer for me, especially as someone with OCD who struggles with the need for perfection. White’s approach is refreshingly realistic and forgiving, which is exactly what I needed. She emphasizes starting with small, manageable tasks and building habits over time, which helps me avoid feeling overwhelmed by the need to do everything perfectly. Her personal journey and humorous take on household chaos make the process feel less daunting and more achievable. This book has helped me find a balance between maintaining order and accepting that things don’t always have to be perfect to be good enough.
