When I finish a book and need to write the review, I usually set it aside on my desk as a reminder. Because my stack has become somewhat intimidating, I’ve started to organize it by color. At least this way it makes me happy!

Show & Tell – Ogre Enchanted
Do you like retellings? Every once in a while I like to see a new take on an old favorite. My favorites are usually taken from fairy tales. There’s something magical about taking pieces of an oldie-but-goodie and seeing them reworked into something new.

10 Books I Can’t Stop Recommending
If you know just one reader, you probably already know that we can’t help ourselves from bringing books into every conversation. Because stuff reminds us of what we’ve read. And what we’ve read is awesome. And everyone should be able to experience that awesomeness for themselves. Thus, the never-ending book recommendations. Sorry, not sorry.
For today, I’ll be sharing some of the books (I’m limiting myself to 10) that I CAN’T stop recommending. Please, if you like me even a little bit, read these books. And then come back and tell me so we can have a nice chat.
Show & Tell – Zinnia and the Bees
Adam told me once that he was named Adam and I was named Zinnia because our dad wanted his kids to experience everything in the world from A to Z. That’s how I used to feel with Adam, like we had all the letters of the alphabet connecting us.

Design Lessons from Book Covers: Silhouettes
Because I’m a huge design nerd, I’m always looking at book covers, picking them apart, and trying to learn from their creators. Belatedly, I realized my inner dialogue might be entertaining, so today I’m sharing.
This time around, I’ll be highlighting book covers that feature silhouettes.
Top 10 T-Shirts for Readers
For some reason readers seem to stump gift-givers. Sure, we’d be happy with a gift card to B&N, but non-readers struggle to see the magic in something so simple. Thankfully, the bookish among us have turned this conundrum into creative opportunity. Now, book-themed merch is almost as popular as the hardcovers and box sets we actually wanted you to buy us.
Today, I’ll be highlighting some amazing T-shirts designed to delight readers of every genre.
Show & Tell – The Baby-Sitters Club
I’ve never read The Baby-Sitters Club, so the graphic novels by Raina Telgemeier are my first introduction to Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey. So far, I’m really enjoying them!
