]]> Comment on Code Name Verity, the Audiobook by Jen http://readsforkeeps.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/code-name-verity-the-audiobook/#comment-1360 Sat, 11 May 2013 17:39:19 +0000 http://readsforkeeps.wordpress.com/?p=4091#comment-1360 I agree they sound older than the “head voice” I had imagined for them while reading CNV. But for me, the best part was when the actors impersonated other characters. Julie’s version of Maddie’s Stockport sounded even more northern than Maddie’s actual Stockport!

]]> Comment on Remembering E.L. Konigsburg by Lisa http://readsforkeeps.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/remembering-e-l-konigsburg/#comment-1313 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 02:40:18 +0000 http://readsforkeeps.wordpress.com/?p=4038#comment-1313 Yet more sad news this week…

I loved Mixed-Up Files, and like many kids who read it, I dreamed about spending the night in a museum, except I would have chosen a science museum instead of an art museum.

But my favorite Konigsburg book will always be The View From Saturday. I wanted all the kids in that book to be real–and she might have started a calligraphy craze, because I tried to learn calligraphy (badly) after reading it. (I also wanted to rescue sea turtles and have teatime at 4). I wish I could have met E.L. Konigsburg, and I’m off to re-read her books.

It’s when books don’t hold my attention that I start the juggling process….

We have several going too. The Two Towers (Tolkien) Alvin Ho (Look) and a couple others just one chapter in. It makes me feel better to do this as well otherwise I might pass out from all the pressure from my TBR list!!! Thanks for sharing, I had always felt guilty. :)

And I had no idea he wrote screenplays!
