121 Books - A Very Subjective Guide

I spent the past two mornings with Derek, who will be replacing me at HTS next year.  It took hours to walk through all the various resources our teachers use... including this blog.  I realized I've neglected this blog almost completely this summer... 

But then I received this post from Dinner a Love Story (one of my favorite culinary blogs) this morning with their delightfully subjective guide to their favorite books. 




This enchanting thought in the introduction reads:

As friend-of-DALS and writer-extraordinaire George Saunders puts it, “A minute spent reading to your kids now will repay itself a million-fold later, not only because they love you for reading to them, but also because, years later, when they’re miles away, those quiet evenings, when you were tucked in with them, everything quiet but the sound of the page-turns, will seem to you, I promise, sacred.”

Wow.

And so I had to share this with you all. I'm not sure how long the link will be live, so do open and save it... it just might be the place to find that perfect last-month of summer read for your children... Trust me parents, they do grow up fast...

The link can he found here:


Enjoy!

And thank you Jenny and Andy (and the girls!)
