This fabulous weekly recap is hosted by Shelia of One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. Each week we recap what we’ve read and look at what’s coming up this week. If you’re interested head over to Shelia’s site and get involved! It’s a blast and I may even stop by to see what you’re up to!

Here’s what we’ve been up to this week:

This week was fabulous! I had the opportunity to participate in a Literacy Blog Tour called Share A Story Shape A Future. The Tour’s theme, It Takes a Village to Raise a Reader was amazing and I was able to learn so much from the various posts around the blogosphere. I also participated in a few myself:

A Sticky Situation – Using Activity and Sticker Books (The story behind my Turkeybird’s struggle with a learning disability.)
When I Was Young: The Books That Got Them Started (A wonderful recap of some of the great reviewers I’ve had on so far!)
Make A Lasting Impact on a Child’s Life: Read to Them!

I also was able to host a giveaway that benefited not One, but Three underfunded schools! It was provided by The Itty Bitty Bookworm and again, I have to say thank you to them for such a generous offering.

Read (I did actually get some reading in this week!):
This Is Me From Now On by Barbara Dee
The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams by Rhonda Hayter
Artsy Fartsy by Karla Oceanak Illustrated by Kendra Spanjer

    I love this feature as it gives me a great chance to catch up with all the things I may have missed and all within the one post.
    A busy week indeed. Sadly I didn’t get to participate in the Share A Story tour as much as I’d have liked. Events, not least of which, the hijacking of my blog, conspired against me.
