It is that time of year when I don’t want anything too heavy to read. Oh, I’ll still read them, but I try to go on the lighter side when I can. I want something funny and/or light. I want something that will make my brain forget there are cranky, mean, rude people and things out there. I want Ame Dyckman! Now, I cannot have Ame Dyckman exactly, but I can have two of her books. First, I will mention Duckie & Snaps: We Cannot […]

Worth it for the story, not so much the pop-up part

A Charlie Brown Christmas: Pop-Up Edition by Charles M. Schulz

I meant to post this before Christmas, yet the reason why I wanted to is just as valid for other times of the year as well. I love books that are in the “8 X 8” size. You know the type: they are square and usually about popular culture. Berenstain Bears, Peanuts, Fancy Nancy, Superheroes, current movies, you name it, it has probably been used. Why I am picking Lose the Blanket, Linus! Peanuts is because it was the one recently read from this genre […]
