It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 12/31/18
Last Week I didn’t get a lot of reading between Christmas and New Year’s between celebrating the holiday, my birthday, working, and catching up on sleep. I finally read Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan and although I really enjoyed the movie, the book was much more difficult to get through. Between…

Disney Princess Readalikes: Anna’s Optimism
I know that this week’s list should feature Elsa as the princess from Frozen. But, I’m much more of an Anna fan – she saves her sister without any superpowers and ends up saving her kingdom as well. Her unending optimism throughout the movie keeps her moving toward stopping the eternal…

Three on a Theme: Snow
With our first snowstorm in the books for the winter season, I could think of nothing better than to share a couple of picture books about snow. I love snow, as long as I’m staying inside and don’t have to worry about traveling. Yesterday’s snowstorm made travel in our area horribly…
