lj's review stew: REVIEW POLICY
http://ljsreviewstew.blogspot.com/p/review-policy.html
Like the title implies, my approach to reading is similar to how I (usually) cook: take a whole bunch of different things, let sit for awhile, enjoy! I absolutely adore reviewing books and I especially enjoy reading:. I would like to say thanks to anyone considering me as a reviewer. Still interested? Here's some more info:. Books from publishers will be a first priority (. I try to review new books within 3 weeks). Books that I review are rated from 1 to 5. Still need more info? Eats shoots and leaves.

I usually lean towards biographies, memoirs and other non-fiction, but I'm trying to branch out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). BOTTOM SHELF = Not my cup of tea.

http://ljsreviewstew.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Like the title implies, my approach to reading is similar to how I (usually) cook: take a whole bunch of different things, let sit for awhile, enjoy! BOOK GRIPE - Overly Lengthy Novels. Just putting it out there.Why oh why are books so long now? Don't get me wrong, I love reading, and since I've been off work, I've been getting A LOT of it done. But even with my (considerable) amount of free time, I still abhor needing to pump some iron just to be able to hold my book up. Currently, I'm reading. Takes th...

Once Upon a Time: April 2009
http://kidzbooknook.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
There is nothing juvenile about children's literature. Monday, April 20, 2009. Is there a politically correct way to abandon a book? Why do I feel guilty when I want to stop reading a book? It's a free country, right? No one is forcing me to read this book. What if I'm just way too bored? What if the content is offensive to me? What if I have to talk myself into picking it up just to get through it? Aren't those valid reasons for abandoning a book? What if it's a top seller? Shouldn't I finish it then?

http://www.kidliterati.com/2015/07/reaching-readers-through-summer-camp.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Reaching Readers: Through Summer Camp Chess Camp. I write by day in my family owned Jazz club in NYC. For the last couple years, we’ve housed the NYC Chess program and during the summer months we have kids swarming the place. They are awesome. Super intelligent, precocious, and their extra special talents tend to peek through. How? When I get the opportunity to chat with any one of them. They become extremely interested in the process of writing. How is she doing it? I love that...

Kidliterati: A Puzzling Post
http://www.kidliterati.com/2015/07/a-puzzling-post.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. I love a good puzzle. Crosswords, logic puzzles, geocaching, room escapes - you name it, I'm there. Puzzles are not only a ton of fun, but they're so helpful in developing problem solving skills and logical thinking. Did I mention, they're a ton of fun? So today, I present to you three middle-grade novels, all imbued with a great element of puzzliness. And enjoy the twists and turns of the codes within the last will and testament, you're in for a wild and awesome ride. There are mi...
