Book Review: Room by Emma Donoghue

Farewell to an Old Friend

Beads and More Beads
The most irritating thing I heard yesterday was the mantra of "I'm bored" from my 7-year old girl. My TV ban for the day sent Them into a downward spiral of despair that was seriously alarming. I took out some crafty stuff and we got busy. Beads were the weapons of choice against … [Read more...]
