Two Books on Literacy (Growing a Reader from Birth and The ABCs of Literacy)

Filed under: Nonfiction, Reviews

My son is only 26 months old, but he’s beginning to learn at the speed of light (from my perspective). After twenty minutes of a Sesame Street “two” episode, for example, he knows he has two hands, two eyes, two feet, and that there are two apples, two spoons, and two bowls on the table. [...]

TBRs and Other Lists

Filed under: Non-Reviews, Writing about Reading

The other day, I found a random box of “childhood treasures” in a closet. The most interesting thing I found in it was a folder with a number of book-related items, some old, some recent.

My RIP List for a Lifetime

Filed under: Blogging Miscellany, Challenges, Non-Reviews

Before I begin, I should clarify a few things. I hate being scared, and I hate horror. And I don’t dislike: I mean hate. And I don’t really like Halloween because I don’t even like candy (I’ll take it if you give it to me … but I’m not going to go seeking it) or [...]

Chicago, Chicago!

Filed under: Nonfiction, Reviews

Last month I read Carl Sandburg’s poetry so I’d have something “local” to submit to the Bookworms Carnival: Local Authors. I realized as I read his poetry that I know very little about my own home town. I spent some time learning about Chicago history this month, and it’s been fun. I’m also working on [...]

Friday (February) Finds: TBR Additions in February

Filed under: Blogging Miscellany, Non-Reviews, Reading Journal

As I mentioned, I moved this month, so I feel I missed a good deal of great book reviews. I’ve done some quick reviews of Google Reader and I’ve tried to visit a number of blogs; as I did so, I didn’t always comment, but I did read your reviews. As compensation for not commenting, [...]

Blogging Goals, Reading Journal (January 15), and a Winner

Filed under: Non-Reviews, Reading Journal, Writing about Reading

I have so many “reading goals” for the New Year that this week I started to feel a bit burned out, like I was reading just to cross it off the list. I should be reading for my own personal development and enjoyment. I also want to join in Reading Journal this week (is there [...]
