Homework
I wish the title of this post referred to my kids, but they still have more than a month left of summer vacation! I'm actually referring to myself. I'm preparing to interview two wonderful authors, Robyn Carr and Linda Greenlaw. Because I hate to chat with authors without really knowing their work, I've been doing my homework by reading their books and getting to know their writing styles. So, if you wonder why I haven't been posting, this is why. I'll be publishing my reviews and interviews soon, so stay tuned!
Vacation
I've already skimped a little on reviews in July, and it's only going to get worse! Not only am I busy doing my "homework," but I'm going to be heading out on vacation soon. My family and I will be making our annual trek to the Columbia River Gorge to visit my parents, grandma, etc. It's a beautiful area. Of course, I'll be reading while there, but I probably won't be posting. Be patient with me - reviews will be forthcoming!
Giveaways
We all love free books, and I've been so fortunate to win a bunch lately on blog contests. Stay tuned, because I'll be offering several giveaways in the next month or so. I can't wait!
A Couple of Questions
My nephew was just diagnosed with mild autism, and my sister has been really worried about it. She wants to learn how to help him, and hoped y'all would have some suggestions for good books on autism. I think she's interested in non-fiction more than fiction, but any recommendations would be fabulous. Thanks!
Since I don't have any scintillating reviews for you, I'll leave you with a question I've been thinking about lately. I took my daughter to Target the other day, and she was so engrossed in her American Girl book that I had to threaten to take it away from her if she didn't pay attention. She had her nose stuck so far into the book that she didn't seem to notice we were strolling through a busy parking lot! Both of my older kids are readers, but my daughter is a true bookworm. She reminds me so much of myself at that age. Anyway ... here's my question - do you think some people are just born bookworms? Is it nature, nurture or both? Are you a "born" bookworm? If not, how did you acquire a love for reading? And, how do you encourage kids to love books? Talk amongst yourselves now ... I've got to get back to my homework ...
