Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Tuesday, April 26, 2011. In defense of libraries. Insert Author' s name here) Hmmm. Never heard of them. And then they said something that kind of took me by surprise. 'They don't really have a lot of books here anyway.'. What followed was a little bit like verbal tennis. Them: there's no books here. Me: well, actually there are. and they can get ills. Them: but i don't. Know what i want. Me: look at the website for the reviews, there's a ton of them. Wallander.

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Tuesday, May 24, 2011. As summer comes upon us, (terribly strange to think that summer is nearly here with all of these thunderstorms and rainy days.) the myth of lazy days with nothing to do float to the surface. Of course, we know those are just myths and imaginations. Summer actually gets busier. And if you're a student, you have to do the required reading, in addition to the school term reading. How many of thenm did you like or dislike? Camus, Albert The Stranger.

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Friday, March 25, 2011. I shan't apologize for my absence. We all know that life happens. Kids get sick. Cars break down. Snowmaggedon hits. Life happens. All we can do is muddle through with as much grace, aplomb, friends, family, and distractions enough to get us. Through the rough patch until we have once again re-entered the dance in full splendor. Let's just say I have about three or four posts in varying stages of completion. Which leads me to my question.

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Happy Birthday Edgar Allan Poe. And while Pope gets a lot of flack for his lifestyle - drunk, possible druggie, marrying his teenage cousin - there is something to say for his work, for his ability to chill us to the bone. There is tragedy there. Today is his Birthday. Born in 1809, died in 1849, Eddie would have been 202 years old today. That's where I heard it from, Mr. DeLeo (Long Live Susqua House! But this year he didn't show. While ...

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Tuesday, October 25, 2011. You know that high pitched squeal that only dogs can’ hear? I imagine not, as you’re not a dog. And if you are a canine AND reading this, Good Dog! But for the rest of us non canines, imagine the highest pitched squeal you can. It might even break glass. That was the sound I made when I went to the library check out counter and found three books waiting for me. I’m surprised I didn’t deafen someone. I must be a sight to behold at the library.

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Thursday, February 16, 2012. Where the Wild Things Are. I have always loved this book. I only recently rediscovered how much I loved this book when I read it to my daughter last night. Just such an amazingly beautiful, simple, gorgeous little book, that has had more than one incarnation. Here's the trailer that you've probably already seen. And what book would be complete without a Book On Tape recording? Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Not because I no longer care abo...

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Run, Fat Boy, Run and The Brothers Bloom. I have this desire to be a runner. Part of me wants to the person out there, running, who cares the weather, all leav, and svelte, and being able to talk about things like hamstrings, or running times, or Personal Bests. The clout. the bravado. The quiet yet very present attitude of, yeah I'm awesome that comes across. I was instantly sympathetic. It immediately became one of my all time favorites.

Rebecca's Reviews (extended edition). Thursday, April 12, 2012. Letter to the Editor. Some of you may have seen the article in last week's paper. if not I'll include a link. A couple parents were objecting to their eighth grade students reading stories by Shirley Jackson (The Lottory), Jack London (we all know him right? To Build a Fire; Call of the Wild; White Fang.) Poe (please tell me you know him! And Stephen King (again. Carrie; It;.). Here is the Link. Literature, and I discovered different genres ...
