Quote Of The Week
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I have been reading non-stop. I am really wrapped up in the Malory Family Books by Johanna Lindsey. As soon as I finish one I'm diving right into the next. That being said I felt like the quote below by Jane Austen is extremely fitting for how I feel this week. I hope you agree to how true the statement is.

Rowan's Reader Review
Wonderland Creek ~ Lynn Austin
This was my first Lynn Austin book and I do recommend it. I loved the character of Alice. She is a librarian. And we all know that I love books. In one of the very first scenes of the book Alice reads a book during a funeral. I can so see myself doing that. I will admit that I have read during church, so pushing the boundaries to a funeral wouldn't be unimaginable (now don't go judging me; I work the night shift and I was nearly nodding off during the pastor's sermon; I had to find something to do to keep me awake). I also enjoyed the historical look at the Pack Horse Librarian program that was created as a part of the Works Progress Administration under President Roosevelt's New Deal Initiative. It's amazing how we take simple things like a library for granted. I would love to see Lynn Austin write a follow up to this book.

My Favorite Disney Princess
Belle ~ From Beauty & The Beast
Now this is a random ramble. I love Beauty & The Beast. Belle is my absolute favorite Disney princess. Mainly because she is so normal. She also loves books and is very witty. So I'd like to share a few clips from the movie as to why Gaston could never have been Belle's man.
