Happy Birthday Dr. Suess
Today is Dr. Suess’s birthday. In case you have forgotten, he is the magical creator of those wonderful books like Cat In the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. We have a collection of his books that were my husbands when he was a child. They never go out of style do they? I loved […]
Tag I’m It
I have been known to review a few books on this website. I love to read and sometimes stay up way past my bedtime to find out what happened next. A Place for Everything tagged me for an unusual and fun meme.
How to play:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. […]John Grisham Writes Again
We gave our son, Greg, the newest John Grisham book, The Appeal. This book is a bit different than others he has written in that it is written around the process of appeal rather than the trial. It is more about campaigning for a seat on Mississippi’s supreme court. I was wanting to […]
Bookshelves
When my daughter says she has books, she means it! We went to IKEA on Saturday and she bought a very pretty book case with glass doors. It holds a lot of books but not all of her books. She is an avid reader. She loves science fiction, and other types of books. What do […]
My Book Match
My sister has a cool post on her blog, It’s My Imagination that shows the book she was matched with because of her selection of answers to a few questions. By answering those questions, she was matched up with the book. One of my questions was whether I was long winded. LOL Here is the […]
Raggedy Ann
My mom’s sister, who I always called Aunt Audrey, made the cutest Raggedy Ann dolls. She always embroidered a heart on Ann’s tummy that said I Love You. I think that was a tradition when making Raggedy Ann dolls.
Raggedy Ann was a fictional character created by writer Johnny Gruelle. Mister Gruelle wrote children’s books […]Learning
I listened as a friend told me how her daughter gained so much from her journey to a foreign country. Now she wants to help her son earn money so he can make the trip. I think we all need to experience and learn about other countries and their people. There is an interesting book […]
The Treasure Box
My son, Greg, gave me a new book for Christmas. It is called The Treasure Box. Penelope Stokes has written many novels and enjoys writing them around the theme of a bottle, a box or an object of some type. The Treasure Box is an interesting story about Vita Kirk. Circumstances have driven Vita to […]
Reading Good Things
I am so thrilled to have received Fanny Flagg’s book Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven. I have read most of her other books and I just love her laid back style of writing. She writes the way most of us live but adds her twist of humor. I like to think of the things […]
New Way to Read a Book
I have been checking out the new Kindle to see if it would benefit me. It is already sold out!
Of course, I finally decided that I have to have one. The Kindle is a fantastic reader. The screen is bright and easy to read. It is actually lighter and thinner than a typical paperback! […]
