Later today the Steelers and the Packers will face off in Super Bowl XLV. The Super Bowl is typically one of the most-watched TV events of the year. What about you — will you be watching? “What in the world does this have to do with books?”, you may be thinking at this point. My…

On Reading: The One Place I Don’t Have Books
I have books in places that other normal people have books: A large bookshelf, which was prominently displayed in my den in my old house, but is now upstairs in our playroom/”quiet reading room” (which do you think will win out there?). A new bookshelf in our new study In a bin in the family…
On Reading: Beyond the Story Time
As a preschool teacher turned stay-at-home mom, I’ve tended to keep my days at home with the kids structured in similar ways with how I lived my classroom life. We have snack time in the morning (or what my three year old often calls “second breakfast”), and they have time to play indoors with art…

On Reading: Season’s Readings
Are holidays a time for you to binge — not only on food, but on books? They are for me. On most holidays we find ourselves driving to visit family. Fortunately my husband likes to drive (or should I say that he doesn’t like me to drive?). Since I don’t get carsick — something for…
On Reading: Finding and Giving Suggestions for Christmas Gifts
I like books. No surprise, right? I like to buy books and I like to receive books as gifts and I really like to give books as well. Because I’m in the book reviewing biz, I can readily think of books for adults of all interests and children of all ages. But I know for…
