Grandma's Treasure Chest

My children have gotten countless books from Grandma's Treasure Chest, which is a chest full of books. Each time they visit Grandma, they get to choose a book to take home and keep. Often Grandma would read their chosen book to them when they were very young. This wonderful tradition has helped us to stock our bookshelves to overflowing. Many thanks to Grandma!

What special traditions are a part of your family's reading history?

A Note to My Readers

First of all, I want to thank you for continuing to "visit" this blog. It takes time to "check in" with me-- know that I appreciate it, although I wish I'd get to hear from you more often via comments. (I enjoy commenting on other blogs, and do so often. How can you resist?) I'm also always open to suggestions about how to improve this blog. Is it easy to navigate? Or let me know what you are currently reading. I'm interested. Do you mind the ads on my site? I have some Google ads on this blog, because I truly think they're useful, as they 're related to the content of my postings and are, in a sense, "sponsors". (For any of you that use Gmail you know that you get similar related, unobtrusive ads related to the content of your email; I actually like this feature of Gmail. )

I have just started another blog, just for fun, La Vache Intéressante, which I hope you'll view when you get a free moment.

Thanks again, and keep on reading!
