Bedtime Reader? Beep Beep!
I picked up this book at our local library.
Off Go Their Engines, Off Go Their Lights, written by Janice Milusich and illustrated by David Gordon.
My 3.5 year old loves anything involving vehicles, so I knew that this one would catch his eye.

Business + Common Sense = A Great Book
I have to tell you a secret.
Even though I try my hardest to read outside of my comfort zone, there are books that I just.will.not.touch.

Testimony
Looking for an interesting scandal?
Drama?
Look no further.
Anita Shreve has given us a new novel that I couldn’t. put. down.
If you’ve read Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes, where each chapter is the voice of one of the characters, Testimony is similar.
Avery Academy is a prestigious boarding school for top students in New England. But behind its walls [...]
Book Review, Sneaky Sister Fiction
A few months ago, I picked up a book called Knitting Under the Influence, written by Claire LaZebnik.
I loved it.
So when I heard that LaZebnik had another book out in September, I jumped at the chance to review it.
I was not disappointed.
I have no sisters, so I don't have that personal experience to link me [...]
Book Review: Hop on the Couch, Grab Some Coffee.
Chick Lit.
Mommy Lit.
Throw them both together somewhere in England, and you've got the makings of a fun, engaging read.
Lizzie Buckley is a mom many of us can relate to.
She's pretty happy with most of her life. Husband (although he COULD help out a little more at home), three year old twins, beautiful home.
But you know [...]
