"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide, all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
-J.R.R. Tolkien

About Me
- Ria
- I'm a twelfth grade Catholic homeschooler currently employed in completing basic schoolwork, figuring out what college to go to and how, spending time in the various worlds of literature (especially when they have been created by Chesterton, Tolkien, Lewis, Austen or Regina Doman), spending time discussing and chatting with friends, learning ancient Latin and Greek, memorizing The Ballad of the White Horse and learning how to be a better Catholic.
I Also Contribute To:
Currently Reading (in theory at least):
- Chesterton's Autobiography
- G.K.Chesterton by Aidan Mackey
- Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict XVI
- Orthodoxy by G.K.Chesterton
- The Lanquage Police by Diane Ravitch
- The Wisdom and Innocence by Joseph Pearce
