News, reviews and other fun stuff. Friday, October 26, 2012. Travel with Me Through Time for: My Pick of the Week. My first reaction on completing this book was awe.

And in retrospect, I think what makes When You Reach Me. And when I finished it, I had the same delighted reaction.

News, reviews and other fun stuff. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Picks of the Two Weeks, and a Tribute, of Sorts. I’ve spent the last two weeks reading as much E.L.

News, reviews and other fun stuff. Tuesday, March 20, 2012. UnBEElievables by Douglas Florian. I went to my local bookstore last week to have a look at Douglas Florian's new picture book, UNBEELIEVABLES. We don't have it in stock," Molly told me. "People don't buy books of poetry." This statement depressed me for the rest of the day. I've been trying not to think about it ever since, because it will just continue to make me depressed off and on forever. Florian's COMETS, STARS, THE MOON, AND MARS. A mini...

News, reviews and other fun stuff. Monday, February 27, 2012. This came in the mail today:. It's the March issue of Keitodama. Magazine, hot off the press and then the airplane from Japan. It's my favorite kind of eye candy - beautiful handmade things to look at on every page (including some made by friends like Ruth Marshall; and Annemor Sundbo; and Kazekobo, who's got a whole spread featuring her Fair Isle and Shetland lace knitting). But my favorite thing about the issue is this:. Posted by Lela Nargi.

News, reviews and other fun stuff. Friday, December 7, 2012. Two—Count 'Em—Picks of the Week. To tell you the truth, I wasn't much of a Roald Dahl fan as a kid. I wasn't a disparager, either, just sort of a disinterested party; I think the deep sadnesses experienced by his young characters stressed me out. But sometime in my young adulthood, I got my hands on this:. And then immediately after devouring it, I went right out and got my hands on this:. Posted by Lela Nargi. Links to this post.
