I was back on @morningshowca today answering educa I was back on @morningshowca today answering education questions for parents: How bad is it that the kids aren't returning to school this year? Should we be enrolling our kids in summer school or continuing the at-home learning? What could things look like when schools reopen? And how can we keep kids motivated for these last few weeks? Link to video in bio! (I also decided to show off more of my house than just a blank wall this time!)

This little miss did not inherit her mother's love This little miss did not inherit her mother's love of reading, and in fact is particularly resistant to fiction. Somehow she ended up reading a preview of Five Feet Apart online (we've already seen the movie 😢) and when she mentioned she'd like to read the whole book I didn't want to miss this opportunity! We took advantage of @indigo's new curbside pickup service at @chapterspeterborough today and it was very slick. We ordered online this morning (Liv and I each picked a book as well - we both keep "the library doesn't have it" wish lists for moments like these) and received an email shortly after their service began at noon saying our order was ready. We pulled up to the door, phoned to let them know we were there, opened the trunk and an associate came out to place the bag in the vehicle. Once she was gone, I closed the trunk and off we went. Now it's time to curl up with our new books - if mine's a good one I will be sure to let you know!
Do you finish every book you start? I sure don't! Do you finish every book you start? I sure don't! I love to read (at least 100 books a year) and don't want to waste time on something I'm not really enjoying! I'll give a book a few chapters, especially if it's come highly recommended or someone bought it for me/lent it to me specifically thinking I would like it, but if I have to convince myself to pick it up to continue, rather than itching to get back at it as soon as possible, I abandon it. Last night I went through my "in progress" and "to read' piles and ruthlessly purged, even skimming to the end to find out what happens in one book without putting myself through reading the whole thing! I feel so much lighter now with a smaller pile. I'm so lucky to receive advanced copies of books from publishers, but even then I don't want to waste - if it doesn't sound like something I will enjoy I won't accept/request it. And I'm also a huge library lover (I have more than 30 books currently on hold) and that allows me to take more reading risks - it's harder to quit a book when you've spent 30 bucks on it than when you know you can just return it to the library! How about you - do you finish every book you start? How do you feel about abandoning books? (Oh and P.S. I definitely finished the book shown here, The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley - great for fans of British novels!)
