Looking For A Few Good Books

Looking for a little geeky reading to kick off your weekend (and wrap up litterary awareness week aka banned books week aka reading freedom week)? Two very quick links might be of interest to you!

First for those on the parenting scene: Geeky books for kids (or life with kids) can be found on this top 10 list by ohdeedoh. I haven't investigated these books personally, but some of them are on my to-read list.

Next, if you love science fiction, but aren't sure what to read next, NPR has a massive 100 book flow chart with over 325 decision points to help lead you to the favorites voted on by over 60,000 readers. You can check it out at the link above, or after the break.

I do more reading during the week when the kids are at school than on the weekends. Today on the agenda? Shopping! Why? Cause it's fun!

Shellie - better yoy than me! Shoppimg is not my favorite chore.

Siredge - I mostly do the library, to be honest. My eyesight is such that paperbacks are becoming a problem though, so I got given my Kindle. I honestly don't have much for it yet. A few free books and I watch Pixel of Ink for discounted ebooks.

There is also an amazon sale on some Steampunk books, including Boneshaker (which I reviewed here) A full list with links in the comments, can be found here.

Who is KtC and why does she write this stuff?

Callista Knight is an alias I have used off and on since 1997. An online name I crafted from my favorite Jedi. The real me has a degree from a state college where I studied critters. I have been a Christian since I was 6 years old. I am the mother of 3 amazing children. Wife to a husband who probably touches the border of insanity as much as I. The idea for this blog has been in the works since 2008 when I lost my job and took a temp job watching videos recorded at night of Pacific lamprey swimming through the dams of the Columbia River. The mind numbing boredom inflicted upon me caused me to start thinking "in blog" and I longed for a chance to write down my crazy ideas somewhere other than the paper napkins in my desk and the post it notes I later acquired. I have many ideas, mostly half baked, but little time to write them. When I do have time to write, what I remember ends up here or in my rejected blog posts on the blogger server. This blog gives me a chance to get my ideas out of my head and hopefully to engage in the occasional conversation about them. I do reply to all emails and I try to reply to most comments as well.
