The Books That Consume You

Those of you who know me in real life know that I’ve been reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon since July of this year. I’m currently right at the end of the 4th book. I’m enthralled. Let’s just say that when I have chunks of time to read, and then put the books down, [...]

The Website That Would Not Die

I’ve half-joked a couple of times in the last week or so that I was going to purchase the domain TheWebsiteThatWouldNotDie.com. After all, this would be the third time I’ve re-started American Bibliophile in some form or another. I have always been one of those people who takes on too much, and I confess that [...]

The Sunday Salon: My Week in Words

This week, I reviewed The Host by Stephenie Meyer (click here to read my thoughts). Also, I have a new site feature called “Coffee & A Book Discussion Carnival”. If you like to talk about good books, click here to find out how you can participate!
I’m still reading People of The Book by Geraldine Brooks, [...]

The Sunday Salon: My Week in Words

Well, we’ve recovered from another bout of family illness.  Seriously, how many times in a season can someone be sick?  Apparently three if the illnesses don’t come at once.  Anyway, the Am Bib hiatus is over, and I am back to my reading life.
Yesterday our 3-person book club expanded into lots more.  I invited an [...]

Friday Feature: PageTurningMomma

For this week’s feature I’ll direct you toward my super-organized friend Melissa’s blog.  She’s refocusing it so that she can share more of the ton of info she knows about parenting, and she will still talk about what she’s reading.
Seriously, check her out! Visit http://pageturningmomma.blogspot.com/

So what are you reading now?

A few of you were off to a good reading start with the coming of the new year. Are you still reading strong or have you wavered?
I started off great by reading The Alchemist’s Daughter (which I still need to review) in the first 2 days of the new year. Since then, I’ve had a [...]

Friday Feature: The First Step Is Admitting It

Yep, I’m a reality TV junkie.  My husband hates this about me. I don’t love it about me either. But it’s true, and it’s not going away. It’s something you should know about me.
Anyway, for this week’s feature, I direct you to Reality Blurred, written by Andy Denhart. His blog is in my Top 3 [...]

Friday Feature: Abecedarian Academy

We’re developing a curriculum for Matthew’s early preschooling, and have really been liking some of the info we find at this site.  The Bug is two, and won’t be going to a regular preschool until he’s a bit older, but a week of working with him at home during Christmas break using more of a [...]

Need a Book Recommendation

Ok, Moms. I’ve found myself with a 2 year old that’s pretty much asking to be potty-trained. I didn’t expect this at this early stage, but he’s got all the signs.  He’s already been going on the potty, just not all the time.  Who’s got a book recommendation for me on this topic?  I’m one [...]

The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss

It was a landmark day in the Peckham hold yesterday when The Bug sat still and was transfixed through all 72 pages of this classic. It was so fun! He was captivated by the words and pictures, and so was I.  We’ve read him some Dr. Seuss board books before, and he’s always enjoyed him. [...]
