The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis. Cold, frosty winter stretches through Narnia, as the White Queen reigns. But when the Pevensie children step through the wardrobe into the frozen land, they bring hope and call forth the lion, Aslan, to fight for Good. Pauline Baynes' illustration of the lamp post in the snowy forest would make a GREAT holiday card.
Icefall by Matthew J. Kirby. Solveig, her brother who is crown prince, and her older sister are trapped in a fortress at the end of a frozen fjord. They wait news of their father's victory in battle. As the winter stretches on, and on, tensions and suspicions grow. Solveig watches her father's storyteller control the moods of the entrapped warriors and royal family, and stir them up. And she learns from him. Treachery is afoot. Can Solveig's new found voice stem the mutiny? Storytelling and winter- two of my favorite things.
A Certain Small Shepherd by Rebecca Caudill. A young boy in Appalachia has never spoken, even though the local doctor can find nothing wrong with him. When he gets to play a shepherd in the school's Christmas pageant, the boy is heartbroken that snow cancels the performance. Then strangers arrive at his family's poor home. OK. I cannot tell you how very, very, very much I love this book. Period.
Also, I love William Pene Du Bois. There, my secret crush is revealed.
Yesterday was Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday! So amazing. I have written about my love for her work numerous times on this blog so I thought I would link up some of my previous postings about her.
*I wrote a series of post called "Books I am Thankful For" and Ramona the Pest was at the top of my list!
*After my boys and I listened to all of the Henry Huggins books on CD one spring we made a pilgrimage to the Beverly Cleary Tribute Garden in Portland Oregon over spring break. Such a fun memory! (By the way, the BEST part of listening to Henry Huggins is that Neil Patrick Harris does the narrating. He is amazing!)
*Ramona the Pest and Henry Huggins are on my Top 10 List.
*I used to do a Tween Tuesday feature and I wrote about Henry Huggins one day.
*Another Books I Am Thankful For post but this one about Henry Huggins.
Share some of your fondest memories of Beverly Cleary books with me!
Princesses everywhere.
I am not the most girly type of woman. But even I wanted to be a princess when I was little. I did not want to be an actual princess, who has to learn to be diplomatic, attend boring meetings, discuss policy with councilors, and put up with the attentions of not necessarily handsome princes. I wanted to be a fairy tale princess - beautiful, cosseted, rich and talented.
So, to celebrate Princesses everywhere on this Carnival Tuesday, here is a list of my favorite princess books:
The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. A dragon destroys everything - including a princess' wardrobe AND kidnaps a handsome prince. Dressed in a paper bag, our princess hunts down the evil lizard. (Picture Book)
The Magic Fishbone by Charles Dickens. Alicia manages the castle and the little princes and princesses quite well with just her cleverness. The magic fishbone in her apron pocket must be saved for just the right wish. Happy ending, everyone!!! (Short story suitable for ages 4 through 10, and for adults who like Dickens)
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. Miri and the other girls in her mountain village must learn how to be princesses because one of them will marry the prince. Also - bandits try to kidnap them and they have to protect themselves. Bad guys; jealousy; mean teachers; resourcefulness! (Middle grade through teen)
Hmmm, there are many, many more princess books around then are dreamt of in your philosophies, dear Horatio. But here is just one more.
I am going to add
I am Princess X by Cherie Priest because the story is a bit incredible but the combination of graphics and text and the suspense, clues, and sleuthing add up to a roller coaster ride of a book. (Teen - action-adventure, violent crimes, risk taking)
I can't let the year end without a shout out to Sheila Turnage's Mo and Dale. Her latest Mo and Dale Mystery is The Odds of Getting Even (Penguin, 2015). The Mo and Dale Mystery series is my favorite middle grade series. Each new book is as good as the last. Each is filled with insightful humor, Southern-style hospitality, and all the eccentricities of small town living. The characters in Sheila Turnage's fictional town of Tupelo Landing, NC, will leave you begging for another chance to visit.
In The Odds of Getting Even, Mo and Dale, a.k.a. The Desperado Detectives, have another case on their hands. Dale's no-good dad is on the lam and the whole town is on edge.
As usual, the café run by Mo and her "family of choice," the Colonel and Miss Lana, takes current events in stride,
I turned back to the Azalea Women. "Welcome and thank you in advance for your generous tips." Generous tips equals a flat-out lie, but like Miss Lana says, you don't stop pitching just because nobody's swinging. I draped a paper napkin over my arm. "Today, our Get Out of Jail Free Delight feature Free-Range Eggs, Potatoes at Large, and Bacon a la Parole. We also got the Colonel's famous Tofu Incognito--a vegan delight featuring tofu scrambled up to look like somebody else. A Special runs six dollars and includes a basket of All Rise Biscuits. May I take your order?"
"Get Out of Jail and coffee," they chorused. "How's Dale holding up?"
Once again, Sheila Turnage has written a book that deals with a serious topic (a father who is frequently on the wrong side of the law) in a humorous way. As narrator, Mo LoBeau offers up witty, often hilarious dialogue and commentary. There is much homespun wisdom in the the little town of Tupelo Landing. Here are just a few examples from
The Odds of Getting Even:
Mo (on the perceived indignity of wearing hand-me-down clothes):
"Dale's a musician. He enjoys vintage outfits," ... "Besides, Miss Lana says most everything in life worth having is handed down."
Dale (voicing his opinion to a news reporter):
Your articles make it seem that way. But a lot of people thinking flat don't change round.
Mo (her take on beauty):
Attila's face would be pretty if she didn't live behind it.
Dale (on "getting even"):
The only even you ever get is inside yourself--when you don't need to get even anymore.
If you haven't read them yet, don't miss the first two Mo and Dale Mystery novels.

Well it's that time of year. Looking back and looking forward. Combing through my goodreads to look at what I read but didn't have time to blog. Looking at other people's blogs to see what they have been loving in 2015.
What follows are my top 5 titles. These are not *the* top five, simply five favorites of mine.
I'd love to hear about your favorites of 2015 as well, so please feel free to use the comments to let folks know what your top 5 titles are!!
First off, we have
The Water and The Wild, by K.E. Ormsbee. This book showed up in the mail for me one day, and boy I sure am glad it did. There hasn't been loads of buzz around it, but THERE SHOULD BE! As I've said before this is a charming story filled with magic and friendship and it's right up my alley! If you don't want to take my word for it, check out Nafiza's review over at
The Book Wars!
Next up is
A Curious Tale of the In-Between, by Lauren DeStefano. This book is a slow burn for me. Of course, I was immediately drawn to the cover, but the story of Pram is a curious one, and she has taken up residence is a corner of my mind. Perfectly creepy, this one dips its' toes into the truly frightening but has hope woven through all the text. This one gets some love over at
Good Books & Good Wine as well!
On to
Gone Crazy in Alabama, by Rita Williams-Garcia. Here's where I kick myself for not blogging this one. These are my favorite sisters in children's books. They've even beaten out those Penderwick girls. I am thinking this summer I may get my hands on the audio books for all 3 titles in the series and share them with my daughters. I feel like they beg to be enjoyed aloud. Filled with humor, heart and family this was a super satisfying conclusion to the series.
Oh,
The Truth About Twinkie Pie, I love you so. Kat Yeh has written a story about family secrets, family history that is filled with charm and heart. I love discovering stories that examine class differences, and Yeh does so with aplomb and manages to avoid falling into the didactic. Every tween I've handed this to has come back raving about it. Check out this review in the
emissourian!And rounding it out is
My Diary from the Edge of the World, by Jodi Lynn Anderson. This one is all about the world and the journey. I just loved Gracie's family. The fact that they are slightly broken but hopeful in different ways created a kind of magic for me. I loved imagining the USA as a place filled with dragons and overgrown cityscapes. It really made me sit up and notice.
What are YOUR top 5 titles of 2015?

It's the end of the year and I had great plans of writing about all my favorite books of the year - there were so many! But there was also ALSC committee work, my fledgling freelance writing career, that five days a week thing they call work, and my family. As I write this, I'm waiting for the last of my children to arrive home for the holidays (one's flight was canceled, the other one's delayed).
So, for now, the best that I can do is this:
In middle grade fiction, I loved
Echo: A Novel by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Here's a link to my review:
http://shelf-employed.blogspot.com/2015/02/echo-novel-review.html In picture books,
If You Plant a Seed by Kadir Nelson is simply perfect. My review is here:
http://shelf-employed.blogspot.com/2015/03/picture-book-roundup-new-or-coming-soon.htmlI listened to lots of great audiobooks, but I think
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was tops. I reviewed it for
AudioFile Magazine. Here's the link:
http://www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read/101740/ (
Diary of a Mad Brownie is a very close second!)
For the best in dealing with sad news, I was taken by Anastasia Higginbotham's,
Divorce is the Worst (for school-aged kids), and Todd Parr's,
The Goodbye Book for little ones dealing with loss.
In adult books, it was
Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell
. It's no surprise. I love everything she writes. I love my well-researched history with a humorous dose of irony and sarcasm.
Whether I review a book or not, if I've read it, I log it and star it in
LibraryThing. Yes, I know that Goodreads is more popular, but LibraryThing's aesthetic matches mine. I'm comfortable there. You can see my virtual library of over 1600 searchable books and 800 reviews on
LibraryThing.
I may take the next week off, perhaps not, but just in case - best wishes for a safe and happy holidays.

I’ve been looking at all of the year-end book lists and getting even MORE recommendations for my To-Be-Read (TBR) list. Since moving into the city, I have been able to read more books. But I’ve also become a book hoarder as well and there is a ton of books still on my nightstand.
I think YA author Beth Revis said it best on Twitter:
However I still want to share with you some books that I did enjoy this year. Here’s a list of some of my favorites:
Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
Bone Gap by Laura Ruby
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor
Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older
Slade House by David Mitchell
The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
When by Victoria Laurie
Hope everyone is ending the year on a positive note and that 2016 will be even bigger and better for all of you! :)
