I have three children in elementary school, and it's important to me to cover as many great books with them as possible. I like to read challenging and emotionally dense literature aloud to them so I can help them unpack the themes, define the vocabulary, etc. As is the ... Comment - Like

My friend Natalie lent me Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby on my Nook. Lending books on Nooks is super duper fun. Not only is the lending process streamlined and effortless, there is no chance that I will have the shame of returning the book to its owner in a-little-more-worser condition than I received...

My husband bought me a Nook for Mother’s Day. (Doesn’t the word “Nook” sound…X-rated? I find that I always let my voice drop when I say it). When e-Readers began to pop up in the purses of my friends, I quickly skittered over to the “Oh, I like the sensory experience of real books. The s... Comment - Like

I took an accidental sabbatical from this blog. I got busy with kids and homeschooling and laundry and watching The Biggest Loser back episodes. Anyway, blah(g), blah(g), blah(g). I'm back. In the deafening silence, I did manage to plow through many excellent books, one of which was Dave Cullen&... Comment - Like

Sorry for being incommunicado this week. My family and I took in several Passover/Holy Week services and activities, and we celebrated our oldest daughter's ninth birthday. I always realize how tightly I sandwich myself in schedule-wise when I add in one more thing and suddenly, I'm dropping... Comment - Like

Over the past week, my sweet readers have showered awards down on my head like manna from heaven. I always get a little *zing* of excitement when I get a blog award. My problem is, I don't have time to pass them on properly. I know that linking other blogs is the essence of building a solid b... Comment - Like

I read a lot of non-fiction. I have several irons in the fire which require me to adopt an attitude of 'lifelong learning' so I don't crash and burn and thereby provide a breathtaking spectacle for family and friends. (Think: homeschooling, parenting, marriage...)
I try to have a good m... Comment - Like

My Vloggy Friday Review is actually going to be a Saturday Vloggy Review this week. (Oh, how I hate the lack of symmetry and rhythm in my schedule! Is...my OCD showing? Let me just tuck that back in). Salman Rushdie is the culprit. I have accomplished nada in the reading department aside from The En... Comment - Like

I am fast becoming a history nut, and I am extra interested in historical fiction since--let's be honest--that's still the best way to swallow it down. Thanks to everyone who took the time to give their recommendations for great historical fiction writers. Check out the list below (and the b... Comment - Like

Until two years ago, my sense of history was a non-funny joke, despite the fact that I was a serious student in high school, had taken AP history classes as a teenager, and went to college on a full, academic scholarship. I could sprinkle an historical reference or two in a research paper for one of... Comment - Like
