Pryday #10
Hello everyone! I had a few ideas for this week’s Pryday question and even wrote an entire post using one of my ideas, but it didn’t feel like the right question for today. So after thinking about my week in reading I realized that what I really want to know is: What books that are…

Pryday #9
I’ve been thinking about families this week. I just finished an excellent book called This Beautiful Life by Helen Schulman that tells the story of one family’s struggles after their teenage son makes a huge mistake (I’ll write more about the book later). I started thinking about how much I love reading about family dynamics…

Oh, hello! Yes, it’s been a week since I’ve been here. I’ve seemed to have run into a little reading slump, well, more like a malaise. I don’t have the inclination to read right now, but I try to out of habit and end up abandoning every book I pick up. This week I’ve tossed…

Hello, everyone! It’s the end of another work week and the end of another month. As we plunge into fall it’s hard not to start thinking about the ending of another year. We’re through nine months of reading so far in 2011 and at the risk of getting ahead of myself I started to review…

My Own Personal Book Blogger Appreciation Day
Book Blogger Appreciation Week is this week and I completely missed the boat on nominating my favorite blogs for the blog awards. Basically, I am a dufus and couldn’t figure out how to access the nomination form on the website! So many of my favorite blogs don’t quite fit into any of the categories, anyway,…

Pryday #4
Welcome to Pryday! I hope everyone had a great week full of fantastic reading. This week’s question: What non-fiction title has significantly changed the way you view a person, an event or a subject? One of the best non-fiction titles I’ve read in the past few years was Columbine by Dave Cullen. I was a…

Baby Storytime
Well, friends, I have to do something on Wednesday that scares me to death. It’s the first day of my new duty as baby storytime teller, presenter, facilitator, etc. I am the youth services supervisor at my library branch, but before I started in this position I had no youth programming experience. In the two…
