August 12th, 2010
I’ve been doing a ton of traveling lately (oh summer, I hardly knew ye…) and have fallen out of the habit of posting here. So, to get back in the habit, I thought I’d start by linking to posts I think are the bee’s knees.

It’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo, and it’s about a bunny.
