In just two months we've managed to get to all 7 continents, made friends all over the world, we've been interviewed on Interlochen Public Radio and in the Northern Express, followed the Atlantis up to the International Space Station (click here to read), learned about the library on Antarctica, we've had just about 1,400 visitors and over 5,000 hits --so much more than we could've imagined! To celebrate we'll announce our first contest soon, share the full story of why we picked Garrett Reisman to follow into space (we promise, it's a really good story), this week introduce you to The Poet and a new challenge tomorrow!

I haven't read this book yet. It was an impulse buy the last time I visited Horizon Books. I have to admit that I was captivated by the cover artwork. Has that ever happened to you?

I just finished Necromancer by Michael Scott (click here for Scott's Website), as always I felt like i was cut short, soooo good and so loong to wait for the next one.
I'm reading the weed that strings the hangmans bag by Alan bradley. well technically i am but im also reading the curse of the pharaohs by elizabeth peters which are both really good and i loved sweetness at the bottom of the pie which is the first book by Alan Bradley. (Click here for Nancy Pearl's review of Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.)
Above All, Be Kind
by Zoe Weil (Click here for Zoe Weil's Blog)
It is a wonderful reminder of so many ways to be kind in our world, with the choices we face every day. I love looking around on your site! Hope all is well for your family!
People of the Book
by Geraldine Brooks (Click here for the NY Times Book Review)
Inspired by a true story, the book traces the Sarajevo Haggadah through centuries of intrigue, exile, and war. Artifacts (an insect wing, wine stains, salt crystals, and a white strand of hair) found in the book’s binding by the heroine, a rare books expert, lead to an incredible journey of fact and fiction through the centuries.
All in all, the book uplifted me (besides being a superb mystery) by the bonds of good shown by diverse people everywhere throughout the ages.
the Little Sister, Krista Meister, and the Librarian all agreed on going back to the days of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
My Life in France
by Julia Child (To read the NY Times review which said, "It is a wonderful picture of the most successful American export to France since Benjamin Franklin" of the book, click here.)
I read this book last summer and think it would be amazing to be immersed in French culture, society, and food in the 40's/50's. I love that Julia was my age when she made the life changing move to France and discovered her true passion.
One of my avocations is photography, really seeing and being aware of all that’s around me. The photo-artist captures beauty (people, nature, and just simply living) all around the globe.
Perhaps my husband and I could take the plane up and I could shoot pictures while he piloted! Bliss! (Although, we may be afraid of heights in a small plane!)

Nice and simple.
