A few booknotes...

• Lily went to the library for the first time today. She absolutely loved it! I've decided this is going to be our new "special" time together, and I can't wait for our library dates. Two hours after we had gotten home from the library she already asked to go back. That's my girl!

• At a literature seminar this week, I learned a great new technique to get some reading time in. The speaker suggested leaving a book (which can not be a difficult one) in each bathroom of the house. Her rules are to LEAVE THE BOOK THERE and to read two pages every time you sit. She is able to read 8 books a year by this method. EIGHT books....that's amazing! Considering the fact that I haven't been able to read 8 books total since my first child was born, I find that phenomenal! Therefore, I'm up for the challenge. I just need to figure out how to sneak in the bathroom all by myself! Take it on yourself. See how many you can read that way.
