Let's Take A Tour

So you may be wondering about the elements of my blog site and the book reviews. So come with me and we'll take a tour of my blog.

Let's start with the column on the left. At the top you will find a link to Miss Henry's Book Shop. This will link you to my Amazon.com book shop where you can find and purchase all of the books listed on the bookshelf as well as some of my other favorites and highly recommended books.

Next you will find a little info about me and why I do this.

Next you will find the Archive of Books Past. These will be listed by book title just in case you are looking for something specific.

Under that you will find my list of blog followers. Hopefully you will find yourself on that list along with many of your friends and family too.

Finally in the left column, a fun little map showing where everyone is visitng from. I would love to have visitors from all over the world so spread the word!

In the center/right--You will find my bookshelf. It's full of the books I'm currently reading and reviewing. I don't want it getting too big so if there is something you're looking for be sure to check the Books Pasts for previous reads and reviews.

And finally, under the bookshelf you will find the reviews and book blogs. I will try to post weekly, sometimes more often depending how soon I finish a book. There are a lot of kids books that I haven't read yet and I'm trying to catch up with my students. With each review I will include the lexile when available as well as the Accelerated Reader Book Level with Points Value.

Under each blog posting is a place for comments. Please feel free to comment as often as you like. Add your opinions on a book, good or bad, the more the merrier. Remember, not every book is suitable for every reader. We all have our favorite genres; mine are realistic fiction, adventure, mystery, historical fiction and memoirs/biographies. I'm not a huge fan of true fanatasy. I prefer more realistic fantasy such as Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. But that's me, you may like something different so I will do my best to include reviews of Fantasy too. I will also try to read them. Who knows, I may even like it.

I hope you have as much fun as I do with this blog. Hopefully I will encourage you, your kids, your friends kids, nieces, nephews, or grandkids to pick up a book and enjoy the pleasure of reading.
