Let's read!


I love books! I read a lot of books. I read about books. I collect books. I give away books. I talk about about books. Well, you get the idea.

I'll start this blog off with a quick book review:

Amulet Book 1:The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi, 2008 for grades 3 to about 6 or 7. This graphic novel is a 2015 Bluestem nominee. I'm not normally a big fan of graphic novels for myself because of the choppy storytelling, but this one kept my interest.

The story starts with a tragedy and soon otherworldly events start taking place with bad guys and strange creatures.  Kids are being heroes in a mysterious and dangerous                                                  world. What young person wouldn't love it?

 It is also a 2015 Bluestem Award Nominee.
