Something for Sunday - A to Z Challenge

Right now, I have Snowdrops. Proving spring is just around the corner.

Tulips! No, not from my garden. From the vase on the kitchen table.
Although, soon my tulips will be poking up from the ground.

Soon, I whisper. Soon, I shout.
Spring!

Brilliant Books for Boys

My son thinks a list of books for boys, not just a list of books, should be the blog entry for B.
Ethan lugged a stack of books from his room down into the kitchen and we went through them, until they were all entered below. So here is his list of books, in no particular order.

Ethan’s list of Brilliant Books for Boys
Tangerine by Edward Bloor
(any) Percy Jackson book by Rick Riordan
Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers
Pendragon series by D. J. MacHale
Viking Warrior: The Strongbow Saga by Judson Roberts
Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage
How I, Nicky Flynn, Finally Get a Life And a Dog by Art corrieveau
Wilderness by Roddy Doyle
Dear Reckoning by Laurie Lawlor
Leven Thumps series by Obert Skye

Ethan says, “All these books have action, blood, and violence. That’s what makes them great!”
(Not all of them)

Some of my choices, (though he says they don’t count):
Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko
Inexcusable by Chris Lynch
The Watson Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis
Holes by Louis Sachar
Head Case by Sarah Aronson
Joey Pigza series by Jack Gantos

An Absolutely Amazing Attempt At Blogging All of April

Alright! I’m attempting to blog all of April, except for Sundays. I’ve signed up to do the A to Z Blogging Challenge because I’m hoping to awaken the abeyant blogger within.

What is this A to Z Blogging Challenge all about? It’s blogging a letter of the alphabet every day, the month of April. I’m not exactly sure how this is going to work, but I feel that I can do it.

I’ve read that it can take 30 days of doing the same thing, to make a new habit stick. Here’s a list of 18 Tricks to Make New Habits Stick.

Let the blogging begin!
