The Book Nut 
My little Red has taken to the shelf that holds all the paperback Dora books at the library. She just had her first dentist appointment today, and she saw the cover of the Dora dentist book on the back of one that we have at home right now– she INSISTS that we will find it during our next library trip. 🙂

I REALLY liked Keturah and Lord Death

Am I the only person in the world that finds the Dora books annoying? I read a couple aloud to kids over the years, and the kids might be learning, but the books are not very fun for the adults to read! This is why I like the children’s classics. They were fun for the adult and the child.
Good haul, as always!
Reading Maria Snyder? I am waiting to see what you think!

No, Kailana — I HATE reading them to my kids. Yet, they love them. This is something I don’t understand, especially when there are so many better books out there. But, since I refuse to buy them, I let them bring the Dora books home from the library. (Usually, I make them only choose one, but I made an exception yesterday.)
About Maria Snyder: when I decided to do the 48 hour reading challenge, I decided that I needed a really good fantasy trilogy to read. So, I’m saving it. 🙂
Corinne — it looked really interesting; I’m planning on getting to it.

Ooh, I always get so excited when I see people buying or borrowing THE UNNAMEABLES! You and M are in for a real treat.

Looks like some good ones in there. New Girl by Cabot is very popular at my middle school. I’m going to read Tiffany Aching books this summer!!

If you squirrel it away before she can see it, you can order the first one from the library and then she can read them both, lol. (I end up doing that with my mom’s books sometimes XD)
