    Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Things On Our Reading Wishlist

    Disabilities (other than Autism Spectrum) There are so many titles with characters on the Autism Spectrum, which I think is valuable, but there are so many other disabilities that can be portrayed and these books are not always easy to find. “Lighter” teen fiction I was the “good kid” in…

    Still didn’t get to a lot of reading this week – we had friends stay over during our snowstorm, which only led to a lot of shoveling and very little reading and then my mom came to visit for a long weekend which also lent itself to very little reading.…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/13/17

    I’ve had little to no time to read this week, but I did get a chance to crack open Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz which I’m enjoying already (but haven’t gotten too far into yet!). It’s about a faerie with one wing and a magician’s apprentice in…
