Books, Blogging and Babies
Greetings friends and fellow bookworms. Life has been a bit crazy these last few months so I figured a little update was in order. This little lady has been keeping me very busy but it is definitely time well spent. Unfortunately some of my hobbies have taken a backseat, including reading and blogging. Before I gave birth I had lots of input from moms about how much reading time they got in the early days. Some said they read so much more in the early weeks of their child’s life and some didn’t read for months. I would have to…

Following those dreams.
This is my brother. Very recently he graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and is now a bonafied chef! Yup, my little brother all grown up and moving on in life. Working in a kitchen, lovingly preparing food, doing what he loves. *wipes tears* I’m really proud of him, and I made sure to let him know it. It’s funny really, because as the older sister I’m supposed to teach him. I’m supposed to impart some type of “older child” wisdom to lead him through his life. In all honesty…he’s doing great buy himself. In fact he is MY inspiration at…

Some things I’ve learned.
I was going to post a Teaser Tuesday post, but then I decided I’d rather spend this post writing to all you fabulous readers. Memes are great, but what I really want is for you to know that I enjoy posting in here and I’m willing to spend time writing more when I have that time! The two month anniversary of this blog is slowly approaching, and it is still surreal to me. On April 17th, I finished reading through my gigantic list of book blogs and was feeling so happy! There were so many great books coming out. How…

A conversation with the kids.
If you haven’t been following my blog since the beginning, you might not know that I work with kids. Well, actually you probably know because I constantly talk about them…lol. I even read books specifically geared FOR them so that I can find things they’ll enjoy. What can I say? I don’t have any children yet, so each and every one of those little faces are my happiness. At least they’re mine temporarily :). Today we started a conversation about libraries. Me: So what do you all think about going to the library this month? Class: YEAAAAHHHHH! When are we…

Saturdays
Increasingly Saturdays seem to be a difficult day for me to post :). I suppose that’s a good thing because it means I have lots of fun things to do! I’ll try to schedule my posts from now on ahead of time, but if I miss a Saturday don’t you fret! I’ll be back on Sunday! Check back tomorrow for a review of No and Me by Delphine De Vigan!

How reviewing has made me grow as a reader!
So to those of you who have been reading my blog this last week, you know I am fairly new at this whole book blogging thing. I saw so many amazing blogs around me, discussing books, giving them away, sharing the love, and I decided that I wanted to be a part of that too! I couldn’t believe how many new books I discovered just from following these blogs. (See my journey into YA here if you want to know how that happened.) My two loves, books…and yarn. Right before that, I had set a goal for myself for 2010.…

My journey into YA and how it relates to this blog!
Since this blog is really new, I thought I’d share a little more about myself with my readers! This post is all about my journey into Young Adult literature. Let me begin by saying that I am 25 years old. Do I feel old? No. However I do realize that to many people, I am not longer considered to fall into the “Young Adult” category. It’s funny really. Ever since I first picked up a YA novel I have been smitten. To me, the best part about this fiction category is that it is so fun to read and crosses…
