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!

2012 Picture Book Reading Challenge

An Abundance of Books is hosting this challenge and I'm always reading picture books. My son is growing out of them now, though he still does enjoy a well told picture book an I have to admit I read them for my own pure enjoyment half the time. I have quite a few picture books on my lists for this year plus the ones on the shelves so I should have no problem signing up for the top Level which is to read 24 books over the year.

Post Reviews:
Books I've Read:

1. It's A Snap! George Eastman's First Photograph by Monica Kulling
2. Out of Slavery: The Journey to Amazing Grace by Linda Granfield
3. Irena's Jars of Secrets by Marcia Vaughan
4. Brundibar by Tony Kushner & Maurice Sendak
5. Silver Threads by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch
6. One Moon, Two Cats by Laura Godwin
7. The Hedgehog Boy by Jane Langton

So glad you could join the challenge, Nicola. Even though your son is growing out of picture books I still find my 3rd-5th graders enjoy them as an occasional read aloud - especially some of the more sophisticated books.

I look forward to reading your posts
