Recent posts included a discussion about how the end of the year means lots of best-of lists in the book world. She cites a few you’ll want to check out. She inspired me to make one myself!

| One mom, two kids, three opinions: Listen in as writer/mother/blogger Mir Kamin and her children discuss books. You'll want to know what they're reading and what they think!
