February/March Book Club

Now that we are back in the full swing of things, and the holidays are well over... we've decided to jump right back into our monthly Book Club. Our members have been discussing away on the message boards trying to decide what book to read, and after a lot of thought... we've finally narrowed it down and made our selection. The book we'll be reading for our February/March book club is Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay.

As we read the book, we plan to discuss it on the message boards and in early March we'll be meeting up for a lovely night where we'll enjoy some java and chatter; discussing the book and choosing the next read. Anyone is welcome to join the book club... Even if you can't make it out to the main event, you're certainly welcome to read along and chat about it on the message board. Want to find out how?

Happy Family Literacy Day!

Did you know that today marks Family Literacy Day? It's such a special day to take the time to reap all the benefits of reading and bonding with our families.

What do you do to promote literacy around your house?

Aside from our monthly book club events, my husband and I love to take the time each night to sit down with our toddler and read some books before she gets tucked into bed at night. She may still be too young to fully understand the books, but it's great to see her trying to learn and annunciate the words that we're reading aloud; while also exploring the pictures as we flip through the pages. Her mind goes running a million miles a minute whenever we read... It's adorable to see how into it she gets!

Happy reading!!!!!
