Hello
Enjoy reading about your favorites–I share in admiring many of these. Thank you for this good advice and encouragement.

This makes me review in my mind my own “favorites” list – including many of yours. Also any book by Barbara Kingsolver. And series by Barbara Cleverly, Eliot Pattison and Margaret Maron. Finally, Dune by Frank Herbert – I love non-derivative science fiction and this is one of the best of the genre. I need to do more books on tape. For me, reading’s been easier and more satisfying.
I’m new to this blog scene. But I just read almost your entire blog in one session. I am encouraged and reminded of how magical reading aloud is to my children and how with the demands of school it seems like a lost art. Our Grandmother is lovely and so is your blog!
You rock, Sianna – reading my entire year’s worth of blog posts in one session ! In regards to the lost art of reading aloud, any time we can squeeze in to do it is worthwhile – even a small goal of a special book to read together at Christmastime, an audio book for a long car trip, a fun story read with expressive “voiceover” once in a while 🙂
Your grandmother sounds like my kind of gal — and your blog is lovely!
What a lovely blog! And you read exactly the types of books I love. Have you also read Fannie Flagg? She’s also a favorite of mine. I’ll check back in here again!
” a lovely blog” – you don’t know the compliment you just paid me! My 101-year old grandmother still says that about everything she experiences. She sees all the loveliness in life. 🙂
