{#sol15} CCBC Choices 7/31


hosted by Two Writing Teachers

Some books from CCBC Choices 2015
Today I crawled out of bed at 5:50 even though it was a Saturday because there were books to see. I will take books over sleep. I drove to Madison (2 1/4 hrs) for CCBC Choices Day. It turns out I will also take books over food. They had wonderful breakfast treats, but after I filled my plate, I set it aside to eat during the meeting and went to read books instead. There were so many good ones to enjoy. 

It was also fun to chat with old and new friends during the breaks and afterwards. Talking to book people is the best.

When all of the festivities were over, I went to the public library downtown expecting an event in the maker space, but alas, it wasn't to be. It had been postponed or cancelled. That opened up time for me to read some more in the children's section and even walk over to the modern art museum that I have been wanting to visit. 

To top off the afternoon, I was able to spend some time with my son before I drove home. All in all, it was a fantastic day.

    Sounds like a delightful day. I enjoyed the line, "I will take books over sleep."

    Oh, I'm so envious. :) I, too, often take books over sleep (and sometimes over food, too!).

    What a wonderful day and what wonderful turns of phrase that you included in your post. I'll take books over almost everything. I have a serious book addiction so your post really speaks to me.

    A day spent with books and people who also share that love, how does it get better? Spending time with your son makes it a super kind of day. So what books caught your attention?

      I enjoyed This Day in June, Lend a Hand, Beautiful Moon, Go Shapes Go, Mr. Bud Wears a Cone, and Water Rolls, Water Rises.
