One of my current rereads.
What I've Been Reading: Autumn is my favorite season and I love to read books that have the autumnal vibes. Harry Potter books fit that description perfectly. So, I began to reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, this time, following along in my illustrated edition, as I listen to the audiobook. I'm enjoying myself a great deal, as I venture back to Hogwarts.
What I've Been Writing:
I'm back to writing a feature article, called, "Book Banter" for my state's reading association (New York State Reading Association). Previously, the article appeared in the occasional, printed newsletter that is mailed to members but now I will be writing a monthly segment in the monthly, electronic newsletter, called ReaD. I love writing "Book Banter!" It gives me another opportunity to write and share about great books, that mNYSRA members won’t want to miss!
What I've Been Learning:
This week I began to dive into the world of iMovie. I am attempting to teach myself about filming and editing videos. We'll see how this goes. I'll definitely continue to work on this learning.
What I've Been Loving:
Saturday we went to the Corning Museum of Glass and spent the afternoon exploring. After leaving the museum, we ventured to downtown Corning, NY, where we discovered a very charming independent bookstore. I spent some time perusing the small, but well curated, children's section. I found three treasures to add to my personal library collection.
My book purchases from Saturday in Corning, NY. I didn't yet have a copy of Change Sings. I am collecting Caldecott and Newbery winners, so when I saw Officer Buckle and Gloria, I had to pick it up! Library Lion is one of my favorites!
