This is going to my first year challenging myself to read as much as I can during the next 48-hours. Of course, I’ve got graduation parties, babysitting and a few other things that will get in the way a little bit, but I’m going to try and read for 12…

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 6/1/2015
Last week was madness as Memorial Day was Monday, I worked Tuesday and Wednesday, went up to BookExpo America on Thursday and traveled to an out-of-state wedding Friday-Sunday.

I buckled down last week and got a lot of reading done! I read Rutabaga: The Adventure Chef by Eric Colossal, I’m excited to see the published copy as the ARC was not in full color. It was a super cute idea and I loved the recipes at the end of the…

Book Reviews and Reviewers
I love books, it’s pretty simple and I love talking to other people who love books too, especially the same types of books – middle grade and young adult books. Every year, I attend the Kutztiwn Children’s Literature Conference held at Kutztown Univeristy. They bring in 3-4 authors and illustrators…
