The topic at The Broke and Bookish today is ‘freebie’ so I went back in to their archives to find a fun subject that I haven’t tackled yet. It was really fun to make a list of ten authors that I would love to meet. You see, authors are my celebrities. The few times that […]
Read moreYou would think that I would have remembered to get my Quick Lit post up on the right day in January now wouldn’t you? Well, I didn’t. Quick Lit took place at the amazing Modern Mrs. Darcy last week but it’s happening here today. So here goes… Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Caroline […]
Read moreReading aloud to and with the girls is pretty much my favorite thing to do. For years, we all read together multiple times a day. When the girls were tiny, we’d pass hours working our way through big canvas bags of picture books that I collected at the library. As they grew, our read aloud […]
Read moreI found Broke and the Bookish about a month ago and I have really enjoyed participating in their Bookish Tuesday link up. This week’s though was a tough one for me. The link up is Top Ten Most Anticipated Debut Novels of 2015. Frankly, I’m not all that in the know as far as books […]

Read moreI feel so very lucky to be a part of Great New Books. It was over a year ago that I was asked to join this team blog and I have loved every minute of my time with this amazing group of women. Each week, one of us recommends a favorite new book on our […]
Read moreAnne of Modern Mrs. Darcy has re-named her monthly reading link up and I love the new name, Quick Lit. So each month, check out my reads under the title Quick Lit instead of Twitterature. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. I read this book for my book club and probably wouldn’t have read it if it weren’t […]
Read moreA few years ago, I gave a presentation at our local community school called “Give Books as Gifts? Yes You Can!” I then turned the presentation in to an article and it was featured in a few regional parenting publications. The other day, I wondered if I had ever posted the article here and […]
Read moreThere are lots of times that I wonder what I was thinking by agreeing to be our home and school president this year. Last night was not one of those times. I love a good book fair so a well run Books Before Bed is pretty much one of my favorite things on the planet. […]
