A story about "The Midwife's Apprentice (rpkg) (Trophy Newbery)" — 5 years ago
Another great book by Cushman.
A story about "A Great and Terrible Beauty" — 5 years ago
A writing buddy of mine lent this to me, and I’m glad she did. I gobbled it up in just a few days. What a great, magical tale!
A story about "Feminist Fairy Tales" — 5 years ago
I read at least one story a night before bed and sometimes I snuck some in on my lunch hour during the week. What a great collection of fairy tales! If only these were the types of tales parents read to their young girls…
A story about "The Hip Mama Survival Guide : Advice from the Trenches on Pregnancy, Childbirth, Cool Names, Clueless Doctors, Potty Training and Toddler Avengers" — 4 years ago
This is the first baby/parenting book I’ve read cover to cover. It was a great introduction to what motherhood might be like, even for someone who once thought she would never want kids! I highly recommend it to anyone considering having a baby.
A story about "Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year" — 4 years ago
Hilarious, sad, and eye-opening.
A story about "How to Write a Children's Book and Get It Published" — 4 years ago
I got the third edition for my birthday and devoured it in less than 24 hours. I’ll definitely hang onto this one as a reference for many years to come…at least until there’s an even newer edition!
A story about "Fever 1793" — 4 years ago
This was a very realistic account of what life must have been like during the yellow fever epidemic in 1793…I can’t imagine how long it must have taken the author to research for this book. And it’s quite well-written, to boot!
A story about "33 Snowfish" — 4 years ago
NOT WORTH CONSUMING
I actually got about 40 pages from the end of this book, but I didn’t feel like reading anymore. From the back of the book, I know that the end is probably pretty hopeful and uplifting, but I just couldn’t stomach any more of the suffering I’d have to read through to get to that point. I guess this just isn’t my kind of “young adult” novel.
