Month in Review: April 2012

Well, judging by the 90 degree days here, I guess we're just about into summer. Of course, it's still technically more than a month away! I have a feeling it's going to be a long, hot summer here in North Carolina! I'll be hiding inside for a few months, as those of you in the North do in the winter. Maybe that will mean some extra reading time for me! Here's what I did in April.

Books Read in April: 4
  1. Drinking from the Fire Hose by Christopher J. Frank and Paul F. Magnone
  2. Off the Grid by Mark Young
  3. Blue Asylum by Kathy Hepinstall
  4. The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Reviews Written: 5
I wrote reviews for three of the books I read in April. I also wrote reviews for two books I read back in March: Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier and If Walls Could Talk by Lucy Worsley. You can click on the links above to read the reviews.

Year-to-Date Totals:
Nonfiction: 6
Memoir: 1

Historical Fiction: 2
Mystery/Thriller: 2
Middle-Grade Fiction: 4

For review: 13
For book club: 4
For me: 1

I didn't read any books toward this challenge during March or April. I really hope to read the next book during May! I'm keeping track of my progress on my sidebar.

    Looks like you had a good reading month, Julie! I need to check out some of your reviews - I've missed a lot of blog posts lately :)

    Enjoy your books in May (how can it be May already?) and stay cool!

      Thanks! It was a pretty good reading month, although I wish I was finding more time to read in general!

Getting back to blogging

It seems that blogging has dropped to the bottom of my list for the past year, and was pretty low for the year or two prior to that. I love to read, and am continuing to do so, but as my regular readers know I haven't been around much. My last blog post was almost a year ago!!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.

Family life has been more busy with kids having multiple activities in the evenings, leaving little time to just hang out and write about the books that I read.

I will admit to a bit of a Facebook addiction, which means way too much time spent scrolling through my newsfeed instead of doing something more productive. This is one of the things I'm working on and hoping that this will free up some time for getting back to the blog.

Overall, life is good. Work is …

Book Review: The Bookman's Tale by Charlie Lovett

Peter Byerly is distraught over the loss of his wife nine months ago. He has retreated to their cottage in the English countryside, hoping to return to his love of collecting and restoring rare books. But when he opens a book about Shakespeare forgeries and finds a Victorian watercolor of a woman who looks just like his wife, Peter is soon on a search for the origin of the painting and the truth about Shakespeare's real identity.

The Bookman's Tale: A Novel of Obsession by Charlie Lovett is a wonderful journey for anyone who loves books. It follows Peter's search in 1995, which turns into a bit of a thriller at times. But Lovett also takes the reader back in time a bit so we can learn the story of his relationship with his wife and how he came to be a bookseller. He does a beautiful job of expressing Peter's feelings about the rare books he encounters, and his feelings are contagious.

And then he takes us back even further to the history of one particular volume, whos…

Banned Books Week: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park

This is the end of Banned Books Week and unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to write about banned books this year. But I did want to include at least one post about it, so today I wanted to share one of the book series that it seems most people are surprised to find on the list: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park.

According to Wikipedia:
The Junie B. Jones series came in at #71 on the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books from 2000-2009. Reasons cited are poor social values taught by the books and Junie B. Jones not being considered a good role model due to her mouthiness and bad spelling/grammar. This is an interesting example of a banned book. Many times there are serious, controversial topics featured in books that are challenged. Things like homosexuality, drugs, vulgar language, etc. You can actually understand why people may not want their children to read those books, and why they may challenge their inclusion in school libra…
