Looking forward to reading it. I'd love to hear about your writing/creating regime.larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967263058541485619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-26865429257672952142011-01-15T14:54:23.314-06:002011-01-15T14:54:23.314-06:00I like your mish-mash, actually.

Not sure what's the perfect age for those, but they are great children's books, and we two adults at my house love to read them aloud to each other, 'specially in mid-winter. Provo and Orem libraries have most of the titles between them. <br /><br />My overarching goal this year is to be creating daily. That takes in a lot of territory in my mind and has more to do with positive, deliberate, living-in-the-present energy than anything else, though it would make me happy to get a lot writing and music and making done this year. Relationship work. Phone rehab. Gratitude expressed. Ice skating. Those are some others.Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928364622023202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-7363454906543391042011-01-11T00:11:14.058-06:002011-01-11T00:11:14.058-06:00When I say forgiveness, I mean this song.

I don't remember authors but I loved One Hundred Dresses for Cecy and Lula (also good for a cry) it involves an underdog and flour sack dresses. It was a Wendy pick of course:). Summer of the Monkies for Moses and Cecy. Might be a little old for M but he is extra bright :)It's about a little boy growing up in the Ozarks. <br />xoxo, KatieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137369060794003548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-10481087486555691472011-01-08T14:22:31.808-06:002011-01-08T14:22:31.808-06:00Julie, I always think of you as someone who's ...Julie, I always think of you as someone who's constantly out and about. You're my inspiration for doing cool stuff with kids. Sarah, thanks for the suggestions! I'm definitely going to read BFG and will check out those Little House suggestions. Mark, I just started "Despereaux" with the kids and they love it. Going to the Lib. today to find "Magician's Elephant." I do like her writing a lot. A bit like E.B. White in the subtle humor. Marni, I don't think of you as unforgiving. Do I need to change my outlook on you?larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967263058541485619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-56947981862203786962011-01-07T21:05:11.070-06:002011-01-07T21:05:11.070-06:00Lara, love your resolutions.

...Lara, love your resolutions. All just right. <br /><br />In terms of books, as much as they get a little precious, I find any Kate DeCamillo book to be wonderful. Desperaux is a gem but I actually liked "Magician's Elephant"--her latest. And because of Winn Dixie is a good read too. Edward Tulane is not bad.<br /><br />Isaac loved Series of Unforutnate Events and I didn't mind reading them, until the last couple.Mark A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01310847183705311772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-1069568650235794292011-01-07T08:21:20.439-06:002011-01-07T08:21:20.439-06:00Lara,

I really do love the clean slate of a new year. <br /><br />My kids have really loved Roald Dahl this year (they are 9,6,4) especially Danny, Champion of the World (my favorite), the BFG, and Fantastic Mr. Fox (they HATED the movie...so did I...the book has so much more charm). Another JI/YA author that I've just found is Rebecca Rupp. The two books of hers that we've just read are: The Dragon of Lonely Island (Asher, 6, especially loved this one and there is a sequel that we haven't read yet) and The Waterstone (which Ella and I loved but was a bit too scarey for my two boys at bedtime). A few other series that we love (more girly....)are the Betsy-Tacy books and the "geneology of Laura Ingalls Wilder" books----the "Caroline" books (her mom), the "Charlotte" books (grandmother), and "Rose" (daughter)books, and the "Martha" (great-grandmother) books. Start with Little House in the Highlands by Melissa Wiley. If your kids enjoyed the Little House books these are even better! <br /><br />www.overandaroundus.blogspot.comSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486855284340633248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-13594731663566221412011-01-07T01:19:02.321-06:002011-01-07T01:19:02.321-06:00Forgiveness.Forgiveness.Marni C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06878647689318100663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-74518255481895195052011-01-06T22:19:26.421-06:002011-01-06T22:19:26.421-06:00Can I just steal all of your New Year's resolu...Can I just steal all of your New Year's resolutions? Although I have to walk by necessity here. I am prone to hiding out indoors, too.<br /><br />I want to try something new this year. Get out of my comfort zone. I ended last year by ice skating for the first time. So something like that.<br /><br />JTJulie Turley, Kingsborough Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564731829599656331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527077088822035809.post-70093129595336966992011-01-06T20:07:06.784-06:002011-01-06T20:07:06.784-06:00Haven't read Helen Frost, Janet.
