It's Monday and baby is here!

Hi everybody! How are you?

I'm thrilled to introduce the newest member of the literary family, Miss Rebecca Grace:


She was born Friday night and we came home Sunday around noon. So now we are slowly easing into life with an infant and a five year old and...well, the rest of life! I do have some review pre-written for this week, so I won't be falling off the map quite yet. Actually I'm going to do my best to still find the time to read and tell you all about those books. We will have to see!

  8. Awww, such a cute baby! All the books you shared had very interesting covers. Sometimes, it is the cover that gets me interested in reading the book... and I love the creative artwork behind the cover of "A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True"

    1. Thank you. :)
      I agree! Covers can do so much to draw in the reader or send them on to another book. The "Long, long time ago" cover really conveys the sort of whimsical tone.
