WHAT IS THIS? WHY ARE THESE NOT ALREADY IN MY LIFE? OMG think of the epic battles I could have, pitting the cookie dinosaurs against one another. And then I’ll have them all kiss and make up and be friends. AND THEN I WILL EAT THEM! HAHAHAH!
I’m reblogging this for my friend Amanda.
I need these. All of them.
Hey Andrew, Heidi, would you be opposed to me showing up to the 5k looking like this?
Wearing a visor and that shirt with those yellow shorts… 100% opposed…
Oh wait… never mind… you’re good.

What’s with dukes in romance novels?
According to Goodreads I’ve read 16 books with the word Duke in the title or the series name. Seriously, I’m pretty sure there are less current Dukes in England and I can’t believe there’s been much more at any one time, let alone in Regency England. But NO, heaven forbid we marry our heroine off to a mere baronet… :)
Reblogging for truth bombs :-)
I’m very bad at mornings…
If I don’t absolutely have to be somewhere in the morning, it takes me forever to get going.
I should have been at the gym an hour ago. I’m still sitting on the couch looking at Tumblr. I’ll go at some point. Have to work my arms, and try and do something to get the soreness in my legs worked out.
I know a book is good when…
Good question!
I start counting how many pages I have left and freaking out because that’s not enough pages!
I feel a lot of feelings (that aren’t the rage of “WHY DID I WASTE MY TIME ON THIS BOOK?!?!)
I look up everything about the book and anything else by the author.
I tell all my friends about it.
I give it a goodbye hug.
I buy a personal copy after having borrowed it from the library.
I don’t want to talk after I finish. I just want to think about it for a long time.
There are definitely more, but this is a good start.
From picture books to YA, The Horn Book has summer reading covered!
Want the list in PDF form? Go here.
And so grows my to-read list. Seriously guys. This isn’t funny. It never shrinks. No matter how much I keep reading… it just keeps getting bigger!
But hey, thanks. I appreciate this.
YA!flash: So about the so-called lack of boy stuff in YA
So I have a lot of feelings every single time I hear that people are “angry” or “annoyed” or whatever that they can’t find ONE SINGLE YA BOOK IN THE ENTIRE YA SECTION FOR BOYS TO READ and YOUNG MEN ARE FAILING BECAUSE GIRLS ARE TAKING OVER LITERATURE and HOW CAN BOYS POSSIBLY BE EXPECTED TO WANT… These are the feelings that got stirred up while reading this. I loved giving my boys, “girl” books. I hate lists and displays that are “Books for Boys” and “Books for Girls” I understand the idea behind things like Guys Read and materials for reluctant readers (almost always referring to boys), but I really worry about attaching titles to readers and categorizing books in these ways because I worry that someone will miss out on the book that will make them a reader because it wasn’t on the right list or someone thought they weren’t the intended audience.
