Get it Free

Dani just found the April book (Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim) free in the Kindle store. If you don't have a Kindle, you can download a free Kindle app for your tablet or smartphone that lets you read kindle books. So go for it.

Check It Out

Right above this post, and below the title of our blog, I've added little tabs for the Home page (this one) and a page with our list of recommended books for SNAPS.  It's so small, I couldn't find it, and I'm the one who posted it!  Check out our second page, but don't be confused.  It looks exactly like the Home page, except there's only one post with a long book list.  I want to get rid of the duplicate information on the side, but I need help from a more experienced blogspot blogger.

The Hobbit - Review by Ann D. on Good Reads

I've read this before, but it's one that's always worth rereading.

I love so many things about this book. I love Bilbo. I puzzle and chuckle over Gandalf. It's a shortish novel but it gives one the feeling of reading something deeply rooted in lore and all things ancient. I love that.

There's also this wonderful sense that like Bilbo, none of us really knows what we are capable of until we set out to live up to the high expectations of someone who knows more than we do. But we don't have to let fear get the best of us and we don't have to let the doubts of others drag us down. We may be able to accomplish a whole lot more than we ever thought we could. That's a happy thought. And it's a happy thought that no matter how strange the adventure turns, our little armchair in our little hobbit hole is waiting for us back home.

I'm so glad Tolkien wrote!
