 Happy Saturday!!  June... summer is here in full force!  Where I live, the temperatures are going into triple digits this weekend.  WHOA.  Being a library worker, I'd like to take a moment for a shameless plug for all your local libraries:  go check out their summer reading programs!  Many have gotten pretty easy, with online tracking of reading, and really fun, with activities counting toward your prize goals.  My little one is only seven weeks, but we've been going to Baby Storytimes at the local library!  I'm currently reading both Storm Warning by Billy Graham (overdue from the library) and Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson (a book I've owned for three years but never read)... and I still keep picking up new books!  No matter how far "behind" I get on my to-read stack, I just can't seem to resist!  How about you?  What have you brought home lately?  What are you reading now?  Click on the link below to join the fun!  But first, here's what I've been bringing home...

I got two new, finished-copy books this week, and both for free!  The publisher sent me The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George in exchange for my fair and honest review (which I'll post on my other blog in the future) and The Complete and Authoritative Guide: Caring for Your Baby and Young Child Birth to Age 5 by Steven P. Shelov and Tanya Remer Altmann.  That one is HUGE!  Over 900 pages... I could use it as a doorstop if I decide it's too big (intimidating) to read!  lol

And of course I've continued to collect library books (even while I have one overdue currently)!  The Nursing Mother's Companion by Kathleen Huggins was recommended to me by my cousin/lactation consultant.  I know nothing about it, but she said it'd be a good reference to have on hand.  Then my aunt recommended Signing Their Lives Away: The Fame and Misfortune of the Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence by Denise Kiernan and Joseph D'Agnese (probably because I majored in Revolutionary American History in college), The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (I know- totally shameful that I haven't read this yet- I only hear good things about it), and The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and Greed by John Vaillant (I know nothing about this one, but I totally trust my aunt's recommendations- they've always been great).

And to conclude this post... a pic of the little one at his first Storytime!  He was totally into it.  :)
