Bread Mage was one of my absolute favorite books of the summer.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.
Buffy ,'First Date'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've enjoyed everything of hers that I've read - a limited number, I have to admit. I look forward to exploring more of her writing ... I just have a large number of books on my e-reader. And, having just moved, a certain amount of my time has to be devoted to unpacking .... mostly books. sigh ....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I've been reading the Paddington Bear chapter books to ltc, and she loves them. Any suggestions on other good chapter books for an almost 5 year old? I really like that each chapter in the Paddington books is it's only little story because if chapters end on cliffhangers there is sometimes a tantrum for another chapter.

Any suggestions on other good chapter books for an almost 5 year old?
Maybe Amelia Bedelia books?

That's a good idea. I loved those as a kid.

When I was a kid (long ago) my Mom read Kipling's "Just So Stories" to us and I loved them - I still love the Elephant's Child and "the banks of the great, greygreen, greasy Limpopo river all set about with fever trees". Haven't re-read them in years, so I can't comment on how well they've aged, but I loved the language and the humor. You do have to practice them - they can be tongue-twisty - but I have wonderful memories of them.

Little Bear is good for that age, I think.
Wind in the Willows might not interest her as a story, but it's *lovely* to read out loud.

I still have my copies of A.A. Milne's poetry ... and I still remember bits and pieces of them. "Of all the knights in Appledore ..."
