- The Scholastic book flyers sent home by elementary schools are dangerous things. I'm just saying.
- I am really hoping there is a lot of repetition from month to month, or else M might have to put me on a book budget again.
- But how can one turn down The Best Book of Space Ships and The Best Book of Weather bundle pack? Or the Let's Read and Find Out science pack. C did a little jig in the kitchen when I showed him what I had ordered. I may have even gotten a hug and a kiss too.
- I actually heard a woman in the drop off line last week complaining about the request that parents read with their children 15 minutes a day. She called it "Painful" and "mind-numbing."
- I am mind boggled that there are people out there who don't read at least 15 minutes a day with their kids.
- I mean, I know they exist, but I really didn't think that I actually KNEW and LIKED someone who didn't read with their kids.
- I start trying to find other activities around the one or two hour mark, and that's only if we've been reading the same. two. books. over and over again.
- Although with all the reading I have been doing with the kids, I haven't picked up a book of my own since we got back from Maine.
- It doesn't help that the library is closed for the forseeable future for renovations.
- Storytime at the book store is almost as dangerous as the Scholastic flyers.
- Although at least I can't justify my spending by the "your child's classroom will earn free books!" line. I wonder just how many books I have to buy for the classroom to get one book...
- Have you read any good books lately? Nothing too heavy or long. A good read a chapter or two while waiting in the preschool parking lot type of book.
- Did I mention I was running the fall book fair at A's school this year? M will be horrified, the last time I ran the book fair I spent a good part of the month's budget on books.
- How can someone not love books?
