The Reader’s Bill of Rights
I’ve seen this poster around more than a few times lately, and I still remember the first time I ever saw it. In 4th grade, this was posted in our library at school. We had the coolest librarian, and she was the first one who really sparked my love of eclectic reading. Now that it’s a new year, I’m taking a look back into my past as a reader. These simple little sentences are still as important to me now as they were back then. So I thought I’d share them with you, and give you a little of my…

In an effort to “take back my blog” I’ve decided to start participating in memes that I loved and stopped doing!

In 2012 I will work on…
It’s that time again! Time to set some new goals, and get to work accomplishing them. First let’s take a look at my goals for last year and how I did. 1. Read on my own time. I promised myself I wouldn’t stress out if I didn’t have as much time to read, and I didn’t! Accomplished. 2. Post, or not. Again, one that was my fault. I was making myself feel awful for not posting even if it was once in a great while. I stopped doing that this year. Accomplished. 3. Comment MORE. This one was a hit…
