4th of July!!



Every year, on the fourth of July, our neighborhood does this very fun parade, and pancake breakfast and then the Marines raise the flag and the firetruck runs through our neighborhood at the beginning of the parade.  It is very fun to watch.

“There is nothing like the smell of a bookstore. If you ask me, it's actually a combination of smells: part library, part new book, and part expectation for what you might find.”
Kathryn Fitzmaurice, Destiny, Rewritten

“People are just who they are.”
Kathryn Fitzmaurice, The Year the Swallows Came Early

“I had plenty of time to wait for her to tell me what was going on. But waiting is the hardest thing anyone ever has to do. You think you can just sit and let time go by. Well, no. Because that is exactly when time does not go by...After forever, I saw her coming.”

What second pick for a Newbery Honor?


(I tried to include all the books we have read, along with the books mentioned on our "the others good and up" thread, and a few on the Newbery 2010 list on goodreads. If, however, I have not included a book you want to vote for just send me a message or write a comment. I will add it to the list.)
