Hey, look! A new calendar page! Which means that we have passed yet another month in which I did a few of the things I thought I would. I read a bit. I wrote a bit. I played a bit. I sauteed a great many onions, when I come to think about it. I ate...

You’re welcome to guess which, but I’ll tell you… in just a minute. Ready? Go. * THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX by Mary E. Pearson. This was a “what’s going on here”...  Oh, friends. I read some of the most excellent books, mostly courtesy of my public library. Want to hear? Well, of course you do. Here you go, with pictures all courtesy of Amazon, because it’s so, so easy: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley: If you’re looking for a witty...

She’s nine (but only for a month) and she devours books of all kinds. So she’d like to... This is going to look a little skimpy. And that is because I have spent all my reading time this month worrying about wildlife. Not really. But I have been writing. And critiquing (which is more fun than it sounds, and takes much, much time). And teaching. And doing some fun service-y things. All of... |
