By all the book reviews you see on my site, I'm sure you figured out I love reading.  I also think reading is important.

The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr. Giveaway

The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr. and Cindy Kelley

Reading with the Mouse and Disney Digital Books

And I'm just not talking about Mickey Mouse, I'm talking about a computer mouse too!  Disney Digital Books provides a whole library of Disney books for readers of all levels, that will help keep (or learn!) a love for reading.

She reads well, but finding content that interests her is always a chore.  Disney Digital books however, has kept her busy the last couple of weeks for her required homeschool reading.  She has discovered the Jack Sparrow books and is reading longer than I require her, because she is liking them so much.

There's something about January & February that makes you feel isolated and dreary.  Maybe it's the let down after the holidays, maybe its the cold weather (depending on where you live!).  It just seems to me that everyone could use a little bit of that silver lining on the edge of those prevailing feelings.
