1. Things I Love Thursday


I love kids who write letters like this:

Dear Barbara O'Connor:

What I like in your books are the settings. They are very vibrant. What I dislike in your books is when you describe some things. 

Don't get me wrong. Describing is okay. But when you described Mama Nell's purple feet and yellow toenails, I lost my appetite.
