My son has been an avid reader since he was 4 (and an avid listener virtually all his life) and the constant bombardment of reading and analyzing has taken its toll. And don't EVEN get me started about summer reading projects for school that the accelerated & AP classes require. Do they not get the concept of a BREAK?!Mocha with Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387717261200678465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-15214386778405082042008-07-18T10:51:00.000-04:002008-07-18T10:51:00.000-04:00I had fun creating this meme a few weeks ago, and ...I had fun creating this meme a few weeks ago, and I have been amazed at how fast it has flown around the Internet! I am glad it found its way here!<BR/><BR/>That's sad about the accelerated reading program destroying your daughter's love of reading. Hopefully one day it will come back to her. I have all boys and none of them are readers, and that makes me so sad! Well, my oldest doesn't read books but he is constantly reading techie or newsy things online, so I guess he justs likes different genres.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what people do on planes or in waiting rooms without reading -- I'd go crazy!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-34682302263459637342008-07-16T23:35:00.000-04:002008-07-16T23:35:00.000-04:00I have never read "The Nun's Story," so I'll have...I have never read "The Nun's Story," so I'll have to check it out. I'm reading "Persuasion" right now--have never read it before and am having a hard time with it.<BR/><BR/>Hey Angie, I'm working on compiling a cookbook for Beth Moore's Siesta Fiesta in San Antonio the end of August, and I wondered if you (or any of your blog readers) would like to submit a couple of recipes for it to my email.

I was also about 8 when I first read "Jane Eyre" and "Pride and Prejudice"--I'm sure there was a lot I didn't understand until I re-read (and re-read, and re-read) the books later. I went to a British school during when I was 8 and 9, though, and they actually <I>expected</I> children to read at a higher level.Cindy Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090693362997103412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-8135711254217027292008-07-12T21:53:00.000-04:002008-07-12T21:53:00.000-04:00Oh, one of my favorite places it read is on airpla...Oh, one of my favorite places it read is on airplanes too. No guilt. No dishes or laundry to do, no kids or husbands or dogs to distract me. LOL. Actually I only have one husband and one dog.

Now that I am preparing to move, I have once again disposed of books by donating them to our public library. They are pleased to have them (magazines and paper backs, too) and if they can't use them, they have a book sale. Two ways that are of equal benefit to the library. BTW, there have never been any Angela E Hunt books leaving my house! =) ClydeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
