The Reading Promise
Growing up, reading aloud was what my family did together. Maybe some during the day when we were little, but always every evening after supper. Whoever was assigned to be the dishwasher of the evening could dictate the book, and … Continue reading
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
I feel a little guilty reviewing books on the bestseller list. After all, anyone can read the bestseller list; these books maybe don’t need more people promoting them. But here it is. I read it, I loved it, and now … Continue reading

It’s been a while since I read a parenting book… The Happiest Toddler on the Block by Harvey Karp, M.D. The Happiest Baby on the Block was a good book, though it was really aimed only at the first three … Continue reading
Grace (Eventually)
<Grace (Eventually) by Anne Lamott I really like Anne Lamott. She talks, as usual, about the messiness of life and the difficulty of acting the way you want to. About how when she’s in the depths of despair she wants … Continue reading
Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom
Suddenly, I’m way behind, both in reading and in writing reviews. I often request new books, either before we get them or adding myself to a list of other fans. Last week, six books came in. That means two books … Continue reading
