And the nominees are.....

Well, I meant to post this a while back. When Nerdy Book Club went looking for suggestions for their yearly Nerdy Awards list, I got my choices in quickly.

This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library.

So when Claire finally calls...
