This week and the next one promises to be extra busy but I look forward all week to my Sunday Morning Comics and a whole pot of coffee to give either up. Sadly, this week I only managed to read two but at least they were both fabulous. The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag... Continue Reading →

It's that time again! Many thanks to Sam at Taking on a World of Words for hosting the WWW Wednesday and helping all of us organize, prioritize, and share our reading.

Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
I will be honest, as a kid I was never a fan of Wonder Woman. Before the fabulous Gal Gadot, the different variations of Diana Prince were underwhelming for me. She had so many things going for her but I was really stuck on the cleavage bearing outfit and the invisible plane. Both made me... Continue Reading →
Sunday Morning Cartoons 1/21/18
Happy Sunday Morning! This morning my cup of coffee and I were joined by some powerful ladies. Nimona by Noella Stevenson was my first graphic novel. Immediately I was drawn into the whole twist on the superhero / villian story featuring Nimona, the shapeshifting young wanna-be-villan, trying to find her mentor. Before Nimona I struggled to...

Awkward, The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome by Ty Tashiro
I am awkward. I don't mean to be and I certainly don't want to be, but I am. One of the worst things I do is talk to much. If I'm in a situation where I don't want to be or I'm nervous I...blather. I will also talk too much when I am excited about... Continue Reading →
WWW Wednesday January 3, 2018
WWW Wednesday - the weekly meme hosted by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words is (as anyone who frequents SilverButtonBooks knows) my favorite meme for staying organized. And, since one of my biggest resolutions this year was to stay on top of my book logging and organization, it will continue to be... Continue Reading →
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
I picked up The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi from a used bookstore after I started seeing it everything. It was on display in bookstores, at the library and on required reading lists at the local schools. I must confess, while I hated required reading when I was in school I have grown almost...

There are some beautiful end of the year posts out there. And, a big thanks must be given to The Perpetual Page Turner for creating the survey that helps blogger and writers look back on their year of reading. Unfortunately, as I have lamented in the past, I am terrible at keeping track of my... Continue Reading →
