We love to read and we're happy to share our reviews of the books we have on our nightstand. Here is a few FAQ's for you mommas!
1. Where do you post your book reviews?
As I read a book, I am committed to write a review of it. You can always click on Book Reviews under Categories on the left side of the blog. I have started going through our favorites which you can see iconically on the right and left sides of the blog. To be honest and this is a bit embarassing - sometimes we remember how much we loved them but can't remember why! Ha - mom brains.
2. What do you look for when choosing a book?
To get started, I have to confess that I always check Heather's Picks. She is the CEO of Chapters/Indigo and guartantees that the books she chooses are GREAT reads or she'll refund your money. Now that's cool.
Here's her adult list...
And her kids list...
3. Where do you buy your books?
Now and this is VERY bad, even though I check Heather's pick's first, I try as much as possible to buy from here. What? I am home grown. I love supporting local.
4. Can you recommend a good book?
I would totally recommend any of our favorites which are on the sidelines. I am also keeping a talley of books taht I want to read and will suggest to our book club. Here's what's waiting to get on the nightstand...
