Books -- reading and writing.
Home, cooking, the weather.
And whatever connections I can make between these chapters of my life.

Such an interesting few days. There's a whole lot of chatter going on this week!

Check it out, folks. See all the great posts on the topic.

There's an excellent list of articles, precipitated by a HornBook piece on the topic HERE.

And this, in School Library Journal by K.T. Horning.
Books need buyers, that's the takeaway. 


Three terrific books I've read, recommended and reviewed recently.
Wouldn't it be great if there were lots more just like these?
