Old Book Monday - September 17


Quite a few book bloggers participate in a weekly meme in which they share delicious and mouth-watering pictures of the new books they have recently received. I love strolling through the blogosphere and checking out these pictures.

I love hanging out with book bloggers because, for the most part, these are some of the nicest, happiest, most upbeat people on earth--and Melissa examplifies this to the max.

Bullying and Subtlty in Writing



Today I am over at From the Bootheel Cotton Patch, a great book blog, discussing the challenges of writing about difficult topics (in this case, bullying and Jonah's back story) in a subtle, non "in your face" way. While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of Flora's blog. There's always a lot going on there - reviews, giveaways, blog hops, etc. and spotlights on an electic mix of books, many lesser known, which is great when you want to diversify your reading or find something a little different. What I especially like about this blog is that it's a mother-daughter team, which makes it great for parents looking for books appropriate for their teens.
