We, and by we I mean the Geekling and myself, are going to be participating in the 2012 Picture Book Reading Challenge this year. This challenge is hosted by There’s A Book and seems like a really fun way to keep me motivated to read consistently to our little one. It’s so easy to just […]

In which I ramble on about “The Twelve” (insert happy squeal here) and agree vehemently with Trish at Hey Lady! Watcha Readin’? about mind-numbing baby games.
From Bland to Grand: Why a Siding Makeover Can Be Your Home’s Superhero (and Why Top Contractors Matter)
September 30, 2011 by ·
What was it about this book that made me like it so much that I’d give it 4 stars? Well, that’s hard to pinpoint, really. I suppose, then, that I should just list what I liked and what I didn’t like and hope that you, dear reader, can see that you really should read this book.

Eve by Anna Carey
September 22, 2011 by ·
The general premise of this book is good. The author’s writing is decent and it seems the editing job was nicely done. In fact, the only thing about the book that was bad is that it was just…bad? Nothing made sense to me. Now I could be just having a brain problem, but Eve as a character just really grated on my nerves and was completely unbelievable.
