This summer Amanda started reading the Lorien Legacies series. The book I Am Number Four was only released last summer, and I think that the movie was already in production, which probably has helped increase interest in the books. The second book The Power of Six just came out (linked to Amanda’s review). There are…

Bamboo People
I wouldn’t normally be drawn to a middle grade/young adult novel set in war-torn India, but Bamboo People is written by Mitali Perkins, and it was available as an audiobook, which makes it easier for me to get interested in a theme that isn’t familiar to me. I’ve read a couple of Perkins’ novels and…
The Power of Six
When Amanda and I were browsing the YA section of our local Half-Price Books looking for some books to take on our summer vacation, Amanda asked, “Can I read the books of Pretty Little Liars?” (knowing that I’ve already forbidden the TV show that so many of her friends watch). I told her no. I…
Reel Life Starring Us
I remember when Lisa’s Greenwald’s book My Life in Pink and Green first came out. I saw lots of great blog reviews of it, and the awesome cover made it quite memorable. I never got around to reading it, but when I saw the new book Reel Life Starring Us on NetGalley, I jumped at…

We study the Bible together daily, and I try to discuss my faith with them throughout all our experiences. While the Bible is my greatest tool, I also enjoy sharing books with my children…
Desert Crossing
Jamie couldn’t stop in time. There was no way to miss the coyote running across the road. It was a coyote wasn’t it? It was Lucy’s idea to stop and make sure. What they found on the side of the road put an unexpected kink in their road trip. Traveling to Phoenix to visit her…
On Reading: Roland Smith’s New/Old Ebook Legwork
Roland Smith knows how to write exciting books that keep kids reading. I was checking out his website to see when the 3rd I,Q book would be out, linked to my review of the first two in the series (In case you’re wondering, the answer is that it will be late 2011). But when I…
