A Good Book is a Good Friend: August 2011
http://agoodbookisagoodfriend.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A Good Book is a Good Friend. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Tried a new author and loved it! A friend recently told me about an author she has enjoyed reading and a specific series of hers that she has enjoyed. Francine Rivers, the author, has written a series of books based on the lives of women in the Bible. I just finished reading the one she wrote on the life of Mary , the mother of Jesus. It's titled, Unafraid. And it is AMAZING! I would recommend it for older teens-adults! Posted by Jennifer Bailey.

A Good Book is a Good Friend. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Last week I posted a list of authors for girls with the promise to post one for boys. Some times, it is harder to cultivate a love for reading in boys. It CAN be done! To him. If he likes dogs then read one of Jim Kjelgaard's. Animal adventure books with him. If it's horses he likes, definitely read The Black Stallion by Walter Farley. I recently read this entire series and couldn't put them down! Wilson Rawls Where the Red Fern Grows. Roald Dahl C...

A Good Book is a Good Friend. Monday, June 25, 2012. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE historical fiction, especially historical fiction that is set during the Revolutionary War days.

And By Wagon and Flatboat. Written by Enid LaMonte Meadowcroft. They are amazing books! And Mr. Revere and I. Are two books written by Robert Lawson....

A Good Book is a Good Friend. Thursday, January 17, 2013. I just saw this picture on Facebook and it immediately spoke to me. I knew I had to blog about it. Ever feel like life is just complicated sometimes and you need some type of small retreat? Of course you do! Pick up a book and get lost in it! Their characters are also some of my favorite people! I cry every time Daddy comes home in E. Nesbit's, The Railway Children. I get a sense of excitement every time I read, The Chestry Oak. Then I dare say yo...

A Good Book is a Good Friend. Thursday, May 17, 2012. Our 3 New Finds at the Library! Went to the library yesterday with my two little bookworms and we found three new books that we absolutely love. I wanted to share them with you! Aunt Lucy Went To Buy A Hat. By Alice Low, is the hilarious tale of Aunt Lucy who can't find her hat, which you will see is hilariously close to her, and so she sets out to buy a new one. Instead of a hat she comes back with a cat! Princesses Are NOT Perfect. There are so many...

A Good Book is a Good Friend. Friday, March 2, 2012. Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss! Happy Birthday today to one of the greatest children's authors of all time, Dr. Seuss! I studied his life for a Children's Literature class I taught last year and was excited to learn how he got his start as such a great writer! Several of his most popular books are written in this format. He later admitted that these were some of the hardest books for him to write. I hope you enjoy Dr. Seuss as much as most of the world ...

A Good Book is a Good Friend: Superman and Librarians
http://agoodbookisagoodfriend.blogspot.com/2013/06/you-know-how-in-old-superman-shows-when.html
A Good Book is a Good Friend. Wednesday, June 12, 2013. You know how in the old Superman shows, when Clark Kent would get that certain look in his eye and his demeanor would change, you knew pretty soon he was going to disappear and mysteriously Superman would be on the scene? No matter how hard I try, and I do try, as soon as the inner librarian is triggered in me, I cannot stop it. It would be just as easy to stop it as it would to stop Clark Kent from becoming Superman. I wanted to yell, ' Boo! Instea...

A Good Book is a Good Friend: It's Never Too Late
http://agoodbookisagoodfriend.blogspot.com/2012/06/its-never-too-late.html
A Good Book is a Good Friend. Monday, June 4, 2012. It's Never Too Late. I recently had one of my Sunday school teachers from when I was in HS tell me that I had inspired her to become a reader. She had never been a reader. She very excitedly told me all the classics she has been reading and how much she has enjoyed it. Even though she is older, I'm going to guess maybe in her 60's, she is acquiring a love for reading! It is never too late! It's NEVER too late! It is NEVER too late! I am a very happily m...
