I've always enjoyed a good book. I tend to go through spurts of reading a ton or having my only read be the recipe of the night. Lately, I'm addicted to reading--- really. I finished a book and went through withdrawl- constantly telling Dave I was upset I had nothing to read. Now, in reality, I have a whole bookshelf full of books I could have picked up to read again, but what fun is that?
That led me to the library. Tyler loves it there, as do I. We found a few books for him to borrow and I set him down in a big comfy chair to read them while I searched for a book for me. Success! Ben on the other hand, is a bit tough since he's not really moving around on his own yet and it's winter so we're all bundled up and I'm NOT pushing a stroller through the snowy parking lots. A few times, he just hung out on the floor nearby.
That book I found was Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah. At first I wasn't loving it because of the fairytale the mother tells. It just didn't suck me in until it started to hold some power in the book. There were a few places I thought I could cry. Good book and a recommend from me.
Tyler got the books: Tap Tap Bang Bang (a book about tools) and Dinosaur Train (a book about a boy who loves dinosaurs and trains) Both were great books for Tyler and he didn't want to return them.
Yesterday was library visit number 2. I just joined a Book Club and was on the hunt for The Help by Kathryn Stockett. All libraries were out of it, except for one which had 1 copy in LARGE PRINT. We tried this (bigger) library nearby and Tyler fell in love. They had miniture couches and such for him to sit and read (or rearrange!). Tyler picked 3 books: Chicka Chicka 1-2-3, In the Diner, and The Bicklebee's Bird Bath. So far, he likes all three.
*If anyone reads this, and has a good recommendation for some books- both adult and kids- I'd love them!
I'll do a review of the books I read and list the books Tyler reads too after our visits to the library.
