There's A Book


Each week The Broke and the Bookish host this fantastic weekly feature that poses different bookish questions.

This weeks topic? Top Ten Posts On Your Blog That Would Give The BEST Picture of YOU (as a reader and a person — so pick the 10 best reviews/posts that you wish every potential reader of your blog would see!)

I’m afraid this one is going to be another tough one. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not incredibly open and so this should be interesting. At the same time I think this will be fun, especially because I get to take a walk down memory lane. Most importantly I hope my readers will see just how much I truly love books and reading.

1. A Sticky Situation - This all started because of my son and our shared love of books.

2. More Important than Words - My love for books is small compared to my passion for how they change lives.

3. Turkeybird’s 20 Questions with Jon Scieszka - Turkeybird and I spend a lot of time reading together, but we also spend a lot of really fun time coming up with all the random questions a four/five year old would ask a favorite author. It’s a tremendous amount of fun and most definitely one of my favorite things here on the blog.

4. Are You Too Old For Picture Books? - One of my passions are picture books and I’m a huge believer that you’re never too old to fall in love with a great picture book.

5. The Year Of The Picture Book – Apple Cake: A Recipe for Love by Julie Paschkis - I feature a different picture book nearly every day of the year. I love it when my love for picture books reminds me of a favorite adult fiction read.

6. Interrupting Chicken By David Ezra Stein - Both of my kiddos get involved with my picture book reviews and it usually ends in hilarity.

7. Sally’s Bones By MacKenzie Cadenhead - I’m a sucker for a really well written middle grade book and I’m really hoping that this isn’t the last I’ve seen of MacKenzie Cadenhead’s writing.

8. Juniper Berry By M.P. Kozlowsky - Well written middle grade novels with a huge heaping dose of scariness is something I wish there was more of and Juniper Berry is my absolute favorite.

9. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness - Sometimes a book comes along that is so breathtakingly profound that it takes nearly a year to write your review. This was that book.

10. Small Damages By Beth Kephart – There are a handful of YA authors I love and I’m passionate about their books. Beth Kephart rises to the top and her recent novel was another example of what a powerful writer she is.

Now, your turn! Tell me a bit about yourself and what brings you here.

If you want more details just click on the title and you’ll be taken to my review or Goodreads.

    Aww…a sweet selection of posts to showcase a sweet blogger and the kiddos. ^_^ Great selections Danielle…but I have to disagree to a point. I think you ARE open with your readers (and blogger friends)…they just have to take the time to read what’s written.

  3. I love this! I don’t think I have the patience today to figure out which posts tell about me the best, but yours are so very good.
