BTP Summer 2021 Update

Hello all! You know what time of year it is (finally). SUMMER! The prettiest weather, the best activities, the cutest outfits, and (I saved the best for last) the most time for reading. As you all know, summer is the time when BTP gets the most action. I read more, review more, post more, take pictures more, book club more, everything with books - MORE. I thought I would give you all a BTP summer update / plan so (1) you know what to expect, and (2) I can hold myself accountable for posting. 

MORE FREQUENT POSTS

I plan to post more often (significantly more often) now that school is out, and I don't have homework and you know, I don't have to drive an hour to school every day. Expect more reviews and fun content very soon (I made a spreadsheet with checkboxes and deadlines, so I mean business). 

BOOK CLUB

Be'Tween' the Pages is organizing another book club this year! If you go to my high school, please email me if you still wish to join. Everyone else, get ready for some book club content that highlights our conversations as well as the rationale behind the books we choose to read together. Hopefully, some of you will get inspired to start your own summer book clubs! 

READING MORE

I get to read more. This requires little to no explanation. When I get to read more, you get to hear more about it. Lucky me and lucky you (lol). 

BOOKISH CONTENT

I will post more reviews, as this is a book REVIEW blog; however, I look forward to posting more interest pieces as well like collections of niche types of books (ie my fav royalty fiction), updates on my reading (including pie charts *squeal*) with stats and favorite authors so far, and book store visit reviews. 

SUMMER JOBS W/ BOOKS

I am happy to report that I have two jobs this summer! I will be working at two libraries (one public and one private) - I am soooooo cooooool aren't I? I am looking forward to keeping a log of my experiences on here as well as being a library advocate through this blog. 


Happy summer everyone!! I am looking forward to posting and reading more in the coming months. Happy reading! What book are you starting the summer off with?

Author Spotlight: Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley At my school, I am a Library Leader. (Library Leaders promote reading in the middle school and recommend books for the younger grades.) The Library Leaders had the fortunate opportunity of eating lunch and meeting with Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. We got to ask her questions and just talk with her. Mrs. Bradley also spoke to the whole seventh and eighth grade in assembly about her research. 1)      When/How does she write? Mrs. Bradley writes in the morning, but this depends on her chores for the day. She got into her routine when her children, now graduating college and out of college, were small and went to school. She would always wait until her husband took them to drop them off at school. She likes for her writing space to be very quiet. She prefers typing when she when she writes as to writing. (This may be pretty common; I do not know what the common format among writers is today. I just thought I would include eve...

2020 So Far In Books

Thus far this year, I have read more books than in any previous year, recorded on this blog or not. Whether my goal to read a lot this year or quarantine fueled my reading, my list is long (not the longest, but long enough to be very proud of). I will start doing these reports on a regular basis. It keeps me accountable to you all in my reading.  I have read 15 books as of the end of July 2020. Here are a couple of charts and statistics that represent the group.  Links of those that I HAVE reviewed are below: http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-murder-on-links.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/an-inspector-calls.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/all-kings-men.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/07/head-over-heels.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-great-gatsby.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-man-in-high-castle.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-abc-murders.html http://betweenp.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-importance-of-be...

National Dictionary Day and Noah Webster's Birthday

Happy belated National Dictionary Day! I am going to start posting a mini-post for each of the holidays posted on the Bibliophile's Calendar !       October 16th is nationally recognized as Dictionary Day, which is based on Noah Webster's birthday. Noah Webster, the Father of the American Dictionary, is fittingly recognized with this celebration. He published his first dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language , in 1806. Immediately following its release he began compiling his most cumbersome work: An American Dictionary of the English Language . To do so, he learned 26 languages some being Old-English, German, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Arabic, and Sanskrit. It took him 27 years to compile over seventy thousand words, twelve thousand of which had never been recorded in a dictionary before.       Webster sparked a massive linguistic reform. He found some British spellings unnecessarily complicated; thus, he ...
