52 weeks book challenge

This week I read two books. One was the Twilight of Courage by Brock and Bodie Thoene. It is a great historical fiction that takes place during the early days of WWII. There are too many characters to list them all here, but one that stand out is Horst von Bockman, an Officer in the German Army who takes part in smuggling a Jewish baby out of The Reich. It is filled with intrigue and suspense and precedes two other series by the Thoene's called The Zion Chronicles and The Zion Covenant series.
The second book I read this week was called Meet Charlotte Mason by Sandi Queen. It was a quick read introducing homeschool mom's to the 19th century educator, Charlotte Mason and briefly describing her methods of educating. Sandi is a homeschool mom and she and her family run a publishing company of Charlotte Mason based homeschool materials. It was well written and enjoyable. I recommend it to any homeschool mom who wants to learn more about this way of teaching.
