Talking as Fast as I Can from Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls

I listened to this as an audio book and it was read by the author. I really enjoyed it! If you are a Gilmore Girls fan, this book is a must. Before reading it I had seen that Lauren Graham wrote a fiction book and I was a little curious but not enough to read it. But after I finished this one I read " Someday Someday Maybe" also read by the author and liked that too.
Both audiobooks are light, funny, and great for a car ride.

Usually they are at least diverting (word chosen intentionally). This was all around great. I liked the characters. I was amused by their banter about all things Jane. I found the story believable and interesting and just plain fun.

School's First Day of School

I don't think I will ever stop getting the back to school jitters. This anthropomorphized school story is sweet in dealing with those feelings. It would make a great book for parents to use when talking about their feelings with their children but I could also see a writing activity for elementary age students to think about ways our school might be nervous.
