A Blank Canvas

I've been starring at the computer for a few minutes now. Blank.

Maybe I should shut it down, and go eat. I'm on a diet. Urgh.

For a second I wondered if I shouldn't wait a few days before writing another post. Nah. There's so much information stored in my head. New and old. There must be something I can share today.

I'll give it a try: I read two middle grade books this week.
The first was "The Year of the Book" by Andrea Cheng. The importance of kindness and friendship, the love for books, and the Chinese culture are delicately sewn together into this lovely story. I truly enjoyed reading this book. I was so happy that my ten year old read it and, most importantly liked it too. I hope the message sticks with him.
The second was "One and Only Ivan" by Katherine Applegate, but I'll leave that for tomorrow as my seven year old insists on using this computer right now! Have I mentioned my laptop died?

To be continued...
