New Rating System and Post Breaks!
*waves happily to her new followers as is customary* Sorry I just have to do that every now and then. I never want anyone who follows my blog to feel like they are not appreciated! You all rock my socks. You spoke, I listened. After mulling over the votes on the poll I decided that I would just be better off doing a little bit of each thing. The votes were so varied, it reminded me that different people are always looking for different things in a review. Who am I to take that away from them? If you come…

Book Blogger Hop! 6/4
The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy for Booksso that readers and bloggers can visit one another and get to know new blogs!

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…

An Interview with Alan Tucker
Alan is the debut author of A Measure of Disorder which is a fantastic fantasy novel! (You can find my review here.) Buy a digital copy at Smashwords, or bound copy at Amazon.com! 1) What inspired you to write A Measure of Disorder? I have written things, here and there, all my life. Poems, short stories, etc. but I had never finished a novel. I’d started many through the years, but could never pull together a complete effort. I either had a great beginning with no ending, or vice versa. Last summer, my younger daughter (the one that still lives at home…
