I snuck off to the library yesterday afternoon without the kids. Here’s my haul, all, except one, from the “14 day” shelves, so I better get a readin’
The Minds of Boys by Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens
Weekend Makeover by Don Aslett
Supernanny: How to Get the Best from Your Children by Jo Frost
Great Books for Girls by Kathleen Odean
Through the Looking Glass (Further Adventures & Misadventures in the Realm of Children’s Literature) by Selma G. Lanes
Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard
and the book I went to the library to get specificly: His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novick
Sound like a great library haul. Now you’ve got to make the time to read ‘em. “Through the Looking Glass” was a worthwhile read. I think that was the one I read. 14 day shelf, about various authors and their childhood reading and writing experiences, right? I’m going to look for “Great Books for Girls” too. Happy reading.
Yes, there’s the rub. So many books, so little time. Did you know you can renew books online now? Need to do that. The supernanny is good stuff, but I’ve only skimmed it so far, same with the Boy book.
