Like most teachers, when summer arrives, I am excited to start on my to-do list. School activities and projects generally take the place of whatever I want to do throughout the majority of the year, and summer gives me the freedom to do what I enjoy most: spending time with my family, serving more within the church, exercising, trying out new recipes, and reading. The last activity is what led me to start this blog. I know there are a few moms and dads out there who want to know what is appropriate for their kids to read, and even more so, they want to know what titles might interest themselves. It's hard to find quality literature today for people of any age, and I am especially picky about the books I read. I in no way believe in banning books, but I do believe in discernment when it comes to filling your mind with things that could possibly pollute. As a mom, I want to make responsible decisions about what my kids read, and as a teacher, I have to make responsible decisions about literature because those aren't my kids!
It's important that you, as a follower of this blog, know that I don't always choose Christian titles. I certainly don't always choose books without profanity or adult situations. Sometimes, those types of books bring to light topics that are difficult to discuss outside of literature. This blog is simply an expression of my opinions, an outlet for me to share my feelings about the positives and negatives of certain books, and hopefully an informal guide for parents and teachers who want to know more about what books are out there.
Please feel free to share your opinions and thoughts with me! Make suggestions! There are a lot of times that I am looking for something new to read, and I don't know where to start.
Happy Reading!
