So I’ve been hearing rumors about this movie being made for quite some time. Looks like they finally released the first trailer.
It’s a huge book, so I understand splitting it into two parts but I do wonder if that will make people less likely to go see it.
I also really question their decision to set [...]
Woohoo! We woke up early this morning, bundled up and headed to the library book sale in a nearby town. I got a great little stack of books…. 7 for me and 7 for Isaac (gotta be fair, huh?) and spent a whopping $8.50! Greatest thing ever.
Isaac got:
Dr. Seuss’s ABC
The Opposites by Monique Felix (So [...]
Has anyone read this article from NYT?
Can I just say “Amen!”
It is about time someone said it.
If you don’t feel like reading the whole thing here is the gist: Just being a kid and growing up and living a life does not give you the authority to write memoir. Just because you have overcome an [...]
I don’t have much today. My mom is in from out of town and we’ve been having fun hanging out. I was looking around the book section of the Huffington Post today and found a couple things I think you’ll like:

Hey guys! I wasn’t really sure if I’d be able to blog over the holidays, and it turned out I couldn’t. Not only was there not a spare second, the computer at my parents house is old and slow and my husband has made me a computer snob.
Anyway, we got back late last night and [...]
You guys know how I am about money and new books. As a rule, I just don’t buy new books because I’m a great big cheapskate.
When a book causes me to go against this part of me, you know it’s gonna be good stuff.
Two Kisses for Maddy went up on Amazon for pre-order and [...]
That’s right, the cheapskate in me is about to show her true colors.
I went to Shutterfly.com and found out that if I pimp them out a little bit on my blog, I can get my Christmas cards for free. Um. Ok. I’m not above that.
This will be my first year sending Christmas cards. I figured that [...]
Don’t forget, Selling Hope comes out today!
I interviewed Kristen a couple of weeks ago. Go check it out, then go buy the book!
Also coming out today:
I’m watching the driveway patiently for my UPS guy!
Eek! I just saw this today.
How stinkin’ cute is that? Even better? He’ll be voiced by Danny DeVito* which is pretty much perfect.
Betty White and Ed Helms are also involved.
I’m sold.
*Bonus points to anyone who can name the movie: “Danny Devito! I love your work!”… so funny
This blog cracks me up. It started in July and they post book covers with alternative titles. I think that they take reader submissions, so if you have any good ideas, send ‘em in.
I have to admit, there are some on there that I don’t quite get, but there are a ton that are hilarious.
Anyway, check [...]
