I am ridiculously excited for summer to be here this year. I've dubbed this the summer of the homemade popsicle (we made our first on Tuesday), we've broken out the sunscreen and swim diapers, and with both of Ella's preschools finished up, we are keeping things pretty calm and lazy around here. I'm loving it. And summer calls for summer reading. Here's where you come in - a beach version of Tell Me What to Read. This is not the time to suggest War and Peace (sorry, Sherry). Suggest ...

A Reading Recap: What I Read in the First Quarter
I've accepted that I will just not be reading as many books this year. In past quarters, I've been up in the thirties. This time, I barely hit twenty. I blame my children (they don't read my blog anyway). Still, I feel like I've been reading more books that I quite enjoy because I just don't have the time to give to books that don't engage me. And I'm pleased with what a wide variety of books I've read here - food books, history, historical fiction, middle-grade, a couple of YA books, a few ...

I haven't even bothered to write about The Dante Club because, believe me, you do not want to read my review of it which would basically boil down to "took me eight hundred check-outs to finally finish the stupid thing."

(And there was this one murder (several occur in the book) that was, I kid you not, ... Read More about Tell Me What to Read: Picture Book Edition

I hope you are too, and that you'd like to suggest something for me to read over the next month or so. If so, here's the guidelines: 1. Comment with the title of one book you think I should read (any book you want). One title only, please, lest my brain explode. 2.

Tell Me What to Read: Round 18
I am finally finally put together enough to return to Tell Me What to Read. I am certain you have all felt its absence acutely. I even have finally finished and have reviews of the last two books pending. Hallelujah. So, on to the main event: 1. Comment with the title of one book you think I should read (any book you want). One title only, please, lest my brain explode. 2. I'll select one comment at random and announce it on the blog by the end of the week. 3. On the off-chance that I've ...
