July 4th

 Barb at A Chelsea Morning has a lovely idea for the soldiers who are in Iraq. AnySoldier.com Take a look…   Overwhelmed at  Overwhelmed with Joy has a bit of fun going on.  A Pay It Forward Book Exchange. I’m already a Bookcrosser but I think this is a much better idea. I left a couple of books out [...]

I’m reading…

I recently had three books on the go, and decided to put two away and concentrate on just one. I like to read outside the school when the boys are asleep and I have twenty minutes to read a chapter, hopefully, without a knock on the window from another Mum! That really annoys me, my [...]

But, in particular, I’m drawn to Clarice. The childrens reviews I’ve read are good, and the illustrations are excellent! She reminds me of Pippi Longstocking. Remember her?    My eldest loves Mary-Kate [...]

Read on…

 I’m trying to get through a couple of books before the ‘date stamp’ of December 8th!  Our library has about 3,ooo books to choose from, but this one just begged me to be brought home. The cover appealed to me from a box of books which had just been delivered!
