Wouldn’t it be great if she made an entire graphic cookbook? That’s what I kept thinking about when I was reading this. Her recipes were so beautiful!

How interesting. I have so many memories related to food. I think this would make me want to cook to, or at least have someone cook for me.

Jenny » Yep, that’s exactly the author’s point! I think it is a fair point, and she covers similar things in other parenting categories. I really liked the eye-opening reminder that things should have a REASON… other than trying to safe face in front of our friends, that is.

I laughed when I saw the title of this book because I always think it’s iniquitous (for me) to make children share when they don’t want to. I don’t always want to share my stuff. Sometimes I want it to be only mine. When I visit my little cousins, I don’t make them share their toys; but then, I am not responsible for their moral development.

I wanted to know how long you took to read this book Rebecca. Well, I’m in middle school and I’m planning to read it. I only read the first chapter in my library so far. I found Scarlett’s character pretty much alike to one of the girls at my school. It was such a long book, I don’t know when will I ever finish it……

Comment on Good, Clean Book Club Books: Suggestions and Request for Suggestions by Anna

I loved The Art of Racing in the rain. Great blog post! I’ve already headed over to to check some of the mentioned there, so thank you! L.C. Davenport (what a name) is a brilliant author that writes clean romance mystery novels. I just read Alice in Glass Slippers, and it was beautiful and clean and refreshing. Reminded me of a modern cinderella tale.

Again, thanks for the suggested book and maybe I’ll go ahead and read Gone with the Wind

Teresa » It sounds to me that you’d really appreciate this book, far more than I did too!

I feel sad and guilty that it took me incredibly long to realize that Daniel Swift /= Jonathan Swift. I would have been very into this book if it had been written by Jonathan Swift in the olden days, except I can’t remember whether people in Jonathan Swift days liked Shakespeare yet.

Comment on What is Reading? and Audiobook Review of The Book Thief by Marci

Marci — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 01:44:04 +0000

Thank you for your thoughtful review of the audiobook, The Book Thief. I will definitely put it on my list. Listening to audiobooks is new to me. After purchasing an iphone, I began listening to books while taking my daily walks. Very soon thereafter, I started listening to audiobooks while working on my various crafts. I find it a different experience than the actual act of reading; it is more like listening to a radio or television production. For me, and I’m sure many others, a good narrator is the most important factor; alas, if the narrator does not appeal to me, I cannot get into the story and would rather read the book myself. So far, I have found very few narrators that hold my attention and I am always on the look out for good recommendations, so thank you once again for your review. I am just finishing Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand and I highly recommend it.
