Reading Together

Posted in Family

While D was deployed last time, Munchkin and I found ourselves reading many books together.  I would real out loud to her while she colored, worked on puzzles, rested…  We would read short books and long books.  Some books took several days of almost non-stop reading to finish.  Those were the types of books that we just didn’t want to put down because we wanted to know what happened next. After Daddy came home, we stuck mainly with short books that didn’t involve long periods of reading.  We had so much going on that reading the longer books fell on…

What’s on My Nightstand? May Edition

Posted in Photography

Lest you think that my nightstand is normally this clean, I will confess that needing to take this picture motivated me to clean off my nightstand.  It really needed it.  I have a bad habit of allowing many things to clutter the top of my nightstand even though I have nice drawers to use below. All of the books on my nightstand stack for this month are review books.  As you can see, there are a variety of different types of books this time.  I tend to read lot of non-fiction, so I’m trying to get back into some recreational…

Busy Reading

Posted in Thoughts

I have a stack of books that I need to read (and review),  so today, while Munchkin played, I sat down and read.  I read for several hours.  It was fun to relax and just read as I really enjoy being able to get into a good book. Today, I was focusing on a book series for Munchkin.  I like to screen books when possible for Munchkin.  Since I’m a fast reader, I’m normally able to get through one of her books in an hour or two.  It’s sad how much garbage is out there for kids to read.  Thankfully,…

100+ Reading Challenge & What’s In a Name Reading Challenge

Posted in Announcements, and Commercial Break

I saw this book challenge over at Heidi’s blog and thought it would be fun to join in myself.  I enjoy reading and thought it would be fun to have a record of what I have read this year. On this post, I will be recording the books that I read in 2010.  There should be a good mix as I am reviewing books for different companies.  It’s been a good while since I’ve done a challenge like this — since I was a child. If you would like to join in on the 100+ Reading Challenge, head over to…

Fall Into Reading 2009

Posted in Blogging

It’s hard to believe it’s already time for Callapidder Days Fall Into Reading again.  Wow!  Time has flown.  This time last year we were preparing for D’s return home.  I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since he’s been back!! Munchkin’s reading list for this year includes the Hank the Cowdog series by John R. Ericson and the Sarah series by Jim Baumgardner.  She also plans on reading several “how to draw” books and books on sharks. My reading list also includes the Sarah series by Jim Baumgardner.  (I’ve already read the first book and look forward to reading…
