Cybils Fiction nominees, Audio-style
There aren’t as many audiobooks available as last year, but I’ve found a few. I’m a fan of the audiobook in general, but especially when I’m trying to squeeze in more reading time, I appreciate the flexibility that audio offers me to “read” while I’m doing laundry or cleaning out closets or shuttling my children…

On Reading: Gregory the Terrible Eater Encourages Healthy Eating
I (Jennifer) have enjoyed my association with the Hidden Valley Ranch Love Your Veggies program, and am excited to continue that relationship. I love their mission of encouraging parents and kids to eat more vegetables, and admire their work in schools. They’ve given over $950,000 to schools over the last 4 years. I’m excited to…
