ep. 29: Bookish Bio of Colleen Adams (aka Jess' Mom!)

In which we use math to break the Top 5 rules

Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.

We have turned on paid subscriptions which will allow you to support the work we are doing here as well as receive Read Along Guide PDFs each month, voice recordings of the Read Along Guides and Essays, and we are working on (printable) bookmarks for each book.
We have a Christmas Discount on Paid Subscriptions. This gets you $2-3 off each month (depending if you do a monthly or yearly subscription). That price will last as long as you keep subscribing (it will never randomly go up, I promise)! So if you've been on the fence, between now and January 6th might be the best time to subscribe!

Happy Monday,

We have been waiting to share this conversation with you all since this summer. We got to chat with Colleen Adams (Jess' mom!) about all things literary, mothering, homeschooling, Catholic, and more. Enjoy!

“The world doesn’t need what women have, it needs what women are.”
-St. Edith Stein
