Book Tour: Thumbing Through Thoreau
(Photo Credit) Today I am pleased to be able to present a review of the new Thoreau compilation book, Thumbing Through Thoreau. Creator Kenny Luck has brought together all of Thoreau’s most profound quotes and separated them into a stunning and easy to reference volume. Accompanied by gorgeous illustrations, each page boasts a formatted Thoreau quote that literally jumps off the page. One of the things that I personally love most about Thoreau’s work is that it is very easy to discern his meaning. With the formatting that is present in this book, it’s easier than ever and visually beautiful. …

My melting brain.
These are some of the little ragamuffins that I hang with on a daily basis. My apologies for the overly artsy picture, see there’s the little clause in my work that says I can’t take pictures of my kiddos’ faces. If their mom happened to stumble upon my blog and see their adorable smiling child, they might not be too happy about it. I get it. I respect it. So you all get artsy stylish pictures! Woot! Why am I writing this? Well, because I wanted to write something book related and poignant, but my brain is currently a puddle…
