What's New?

March 16, 2010

Hooray! Back in December, I decided to catch up on reviewing books I'd been meaning to review by writing the reviews on my blog without posting them here on the main site. As of tonight, I'm finally caught up with posting the reviews!

I'm finishing with Fiction: I'm posting reviews of eight novels: Aunt Dimity's Christmas, by Nancy Atherton; The Sharing Knife: Beguilement, and The Sharing Knife: Legacy, by Lois McMaster Bujold; Little Bee, by Chris Cleave; Shades of Grey, by Jasper Fforde; The Rebel Princess, by Judith Koll Healey; The Interruption of Everything, by Terry McMillan; and Victory of Eagles, by Naomi Novik.

Happy Reading!

"And it is there [in children's picture books] between the pages that children discover the power of their own imaginations. They are indeed a dress rehearsal for life."
