Welcome

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Conservative, Catholic, with Asperger's, who reads a lot. These are the ramblings of the books I read or read aloud to my energetic Autistic 11yo. I love reading almost any book from classics to mysteries to fantasy to ARCs. I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", get addicted to manga and graphic novels or get caught up in reading ARCs, but you'll find I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books but I still do a lot of adult reviews as well. I read well over 200 books a year, but haven't made it to 300 yet!

New York Times' Zalewski Critiques Today's Picture Books

I've got to say I'm right behind him on this one. I've always, more or less, stuck with the classic picture books with my children. There is nothing worse than picture books about bratty kids who act and behave in ways which are entirely unacceptable in your own home.

In today’s picture books, the kids are in charge: newyorker.com

Thanks for the link to that article - it's terrific. I'm going to be sharing it with a few other people. I guess it really is the fault of society-at-large these days. If you've seen kid shows on Disney and Nick, you see the same sort of "kids in charge" scenarios. It's really unfortunate.
