Tip: When Looking for Light, Bedtime Reading, Don't Pick Up a Book on Genocide

Between the books I get for review and the iFarmer’s collection, one would think I would be able to find some satisfying evening reading. But no. Nothing on my shelf is particularly inviting.

I tried to read Martha Minow’s “Between Vengeance and Forgiveness: Facing History after Genocide and Mass Violence,” but that’s pretty much as down as it the title suggests.

And since Jen Lancaster hasn’t come up with anything since Bright Lights Big Ass…[Jen, do I really have to wait until May for your next book?], I’m at a loss.

So tonight, I’ll be continuing my wine-ucation with Alpana Singh’s “Alpana Pours.”

  1. I have been reading the “little House on the prairie” serries. I never read them as a child, but we are loving them.

  2. I, of course, loved those books and Willa Cather when I was older. The iFarmer periodically reads Boxcar Children to the FFKs. We also started Charlotte’s Web. I’m pleased at 4 and 5 that the FFKs can follow along with these stories without needing to see glossy images or sound effects.
