We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

The trouble with being a book blogger is that on finishing a book the choice is write a review or start another book. Guess which one wins most often?
