Welcome!

Dear Book Lovers, Welcome! I am delighted that you have found The Through the Looking Glass blog. For over twenty years I reviewed children's literature titles for my online journal, which came out six times a year. Every book review written for that publication can be found on the Through the Looking Glass website (the link is below). I am now moving in a different direction, though the columns that I write are still book-centric. Instead of writing reviews, I'm offering you columns on topics that have been inspired by wonderful books that I have read. I tell you about the books in question, and describe how they have have impacted me. This may sound peculiar to some of you, but the books that I tend to choose are ones that resonate with me on some level. Therefore, when I read the last page and close the covers, I am not quite the same person that I was when first I started reading the book. The shift in my perspective might be miniscule, but it is still there. The books I am looking are both about adult and children's titles. Some of the children's titles will appeal to adults, while others will not. Some of the adult titles will appeal to younger readers, particularly those who are eager to expand their horizons.

New Issue of Through the Looking Glass

Dear Bookish Friends:

As I am sure some of you have noticed, I have not been blogging for a while. The reason for this is that I have been very sick for months and my work and music, my life as a whole, really suffered. Thankfully, I have managed to crawl out of the hole of darkness that took over my life for so long. I am back, and I am eager to read, write, play music, dance, run, and hike once more. I am eager to be a part of the world again.

Image result for women's history month 2019This morning I posted the new issue of TTLG, which is for March and April. Please take a look at the Welcome Page to see what is new. I am particularly proud of the Strong Girls, Strong Women feature, which ties into March's Women's History Month. In addition to what is already in the TTLG library, I will be posting here, every week in March, at least one new review of a book that celebrates women and girls. The first of these posts will appear on this blog later today.

I am so looking forward to sharing books with you again and hope to hear from many you in the days ahead.
