Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Would Be On Your Syllabus If You Taught EASY READERS 101
So rather than specific titles, I’m going to go ahead and focus on authors, many of who mainly focus on easy readers, but a few who are a little more widespread. I chose to go with Easy Readers because its a section of our library (and many others, I suspect)…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 8/24/15
I don’t know what happened this week, but I got very little reading accomplished. I was expecting to read a lot on Monday (I had the day off) but instead ended up at a pop-up concert with Stevie Wonder in Philadelphia. It was a lot of fun, very hot, and…

Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I've Read The Most Books From
This was a lot more difficult for me than the past Top Ten Tuesday topics (trying saying that 10x fast). Anyway, I tried to remember books from when I was growing up and what I like to read now. A few authors I omitted, because I want to use them…
