    It took me a minute, but I had to realize that my kids weren’t going to automatically love books I chose for them just because I, also, love to read. I share about some of that journey, my method for both getting my kids to read what they want and what I want, and (cheating a little) two recommendations for you as you (hopefully) raise readers!

    Season 3, Episode 2 - All Stories from 26 Letters Sep 12, 2022

    Today I’m sharing an author’s story that captured my attention when I was searching for bookish quotes…I hope the life story of The Neverending Story’s Michael Ende is just as fascinating for you as it was for me. My recommendation this week takes place all around the world; and wrapping up the episode is a quick share of a book I’m currently reading.

    I mentioned The Thorn Birds here and here.

    Season 3, Episode 1: Running with Kipling Sep 05, 2022
    Show notes

    Back when I was first learning to run (for real), I listened to my first audiobook. It forever linked running, reading, and Kipling in my head…and to my Bookstagram. I’ve also got a 5 star recommendation from the books I’ve read this year so far, and what I’m currently reading.

    …recommendation…

    • The Girl in His Shadow, by Audrey Blake

    …currently reading…

    • The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas

    Season 3 Trailer: How Many Books Are In My Carry On? Sep 02, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome to a season 3 preview of Westmoreland Reads! Today I (Heidi) am sharing one of my personal favorite bookish stories from my own middle school reading and travel experiences, as well as giving you a little sneak peek into what’s coming up this season on the podcast.

    Disclaimer: though I was a big fan in middle school, as an adult I now consider the Left Behind series a 3ish star example of dystopian fiction and an imaginative rendering of what end times might look like.

    …books mentioned…

    • The Left BehindSeries, by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins (2:08)

    …currently reading…

    • The People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks
