Hello

Welcome to my blog! I am an avid blog reader, and love to write so I figure why not.  My great loves in life are my family, books, and food (especially books about food :).  I am always on the lookout for my next books to read (I always like to read a few at a time), and delicious things to eat, so I am going to share them all right here!

I went to school to become a children's librarian where I developed a deep love for children's literature.  I take my kids to the library weekly hoping to instill my love of reading in them! So far it's working my daughter is three and would be happy if I read to her all day, and I have to drag that girl out the library.

So what did we pick out at our library this week:

Kids:

Curious George Goes to the Hospital, by H.A. Rey

A classic. A great read if your child or someone you know is going to the hospital. We also have a bunch of princess, tv show based paperback books, but I like to bring home at least one big picture book we can read as a family.

Me:

The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Tenton Lee Stuart

I have heard good things about this book. I am not usually a mystery reader, but I am trying to broaden my horizons this summer.  I'll let you know.

Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, by Laurie Viera Rigler

I just saw the movie Austenland, which I loved, so I thought this would go nicely with it, and who doesn't want an adorable chic lit book to read by the pool this summer! (Don't be jealous it's a kiddie pool, and thank god for the protective covers on library books cause my kids love to splash!

I am on the hunt for some good nonfiction...most likely about food.  I like heavier reading before I go to sleep! Happy reading!
