About
Welcome to Books and Movies! I’m Carrie Kitzmiller, and I’ve been blogging for over three years at Mommy Brain. I’m a homeschooling mom of four. In my spare time, I love to read, watch movies, and watch good TV. I also love to blog about what I’m reading and watching.

Hi Carrie,
Links after links, I stumble upon your blog … and what a find! I’ve enjoyed your book and movie talks. Coincidentally, I also write about books and movies on my blog. I’m not a homeschool mom, but still a mom who started a blog upon the prompting of my son 2 years ago. Thanks to him now I’m an addict blogger! Will definitely come back here for more.
Arti – thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments! I’ll definitely be checking out your blog.
I have really enjoyed having a look through this blog, some good book suggestions for me here! Hope you like our blog too.
A homeschooling mom of four who has spare time?????
(Excuse me while I go look for my jaw, which I seem to have dropped.)
How do you do it? I’m just looking through your blog thinking I have to read all these books because they all sound great but if I do I’ll be neglecting my children, my husband, my house, my garden and my writing, (not necessarily in that order), but I know I’ll read them anyway because I can’t help myself. But you read, and you blog, and you homeschool, and you still have spare time????
Sorry, still looking for that jaw. You go, girl!
Kim – I don’t really have spare time, I make spare time.
And I do neglect my house – in fact my husband laughingly says he has to invite people over for it to get a good cleaning, but there’s an element of truth in that. I don’t do our garden – my husband does. And I also read fairly quickly. So yes, i do read a lot, and I blog, and I homeschool – but there are other areas of my life that I have made less of a priority. My husband gets lots of time and so do my kids – my house, not so much.
My husband says the exact same thing! (Only he’s not usually laughing ;-P) (And there’s more than a grain of truth in it!)
Just a little note to say “Hello,” and to let you know I blog about books and movies too and that I’ve taken up the 100 Shots of Shorts Challenge. Well, technically, I started my own short story challenge “Two-A-Week.” — Figured there was no reason why I couldn’t do both.
Until Next Time…

Hi, i came from Bellezza. Your blog name Books and Movies attracted me here. Those are my interests as well and the content of my blog too. I’ll stop by more often to explore your interesting site here!
Just happened to trip on your blog and love the feel of it. That’s awesome that you’re homeschooling 4 kids. I have no idea how you have the time to do anything else.
I just started a new book/movie blog and would love for you to check it out.
Thanks!
