About this episode

Autumn Kern is a mom of four who releases bookish videos in a space called, delightfully enough, The Commonplace, and also hosts Common House, a space for homeschooling moms to get their bearings in the classical Charlotte Mason world. She shares with Tsh a favorite childhood book (one of Tsh’s favorites, too, though not from her own childhood) and a recent one from her adulthood (it’s one Tsh has never heard of).

* Autumn Kern’s video channel, The Commonplace

* Autumn’s mom encouragement space, Common House

* Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling

* The Lost Princess + The Wise Woman: A Parable, by George MacDonald
