On Saturday, I’ll be sleeping here! Yesterday was the last day of school for the 2016-2017 school year. Summer has started for the kids, and mine begins on Friday when we fly to Spokane, Washington. And, this time around, I really am going to take a summer break! Where I go, to Spirit Lake, Idaho,Continue reading Summer Break
My Name is Asher Lev: A Book with an Outfit
I started a book club this year amongst the high school teachers I work with. It’s been a successful little club with the typical book club characteristics. One special perk though is I buy the book for all the teachers: sometimes they know what’s coming while other times I surprise them with a title. Recently,Continue reading My Name is Asher Lev: A Book with an Outfit
The Sun is Also a Star: A Book with an Outfit
I’ve made a conscious decision to post at least one book in one of my outfit posts a month. Last month it was The Twentieth Wife. This month it’s The Sun is Also a Star, by Nicola Yoon. Oh, this author! She is absolutely amazing. First, I was enthralled with Everything Everything–which I hear hasContinue reading The Sun is Also a Star: A Book with an Outfit
The Twentieth Wife
I knew for my two week trip through Rajasthan that the perfect book to read would be The Twentieth Wife by Indu Sundaresan.

Both are so beautiful depicting the life of Mehrunnisa and the love story–no triumph mightContinue reading The Twentieth Wife

Books: Rehab Reading
All the pictures from this post have been pulled from my Instagram feed, @krembdelakremb. During the past three weeks I’ve been able to dedicate a fair amount of my time to reading.

Beach Reads for Boracay
The beach reads I choose for vacation are very important to me. I go through a very thorough book evaluation in order to choose just the right books for reading.

Let’s Read How to be More French Books
Lately French books, in particular books about French women and they’re covetable style, are really hitting the books-to-read lists. Women want to know how to be more French. The French woman is utterly chic: she’s slouchy yet put together, she’s coy yet totally assertive, she’s flirtatious but temperamental, she’s timid but all together confident, she’sContinue reading Let’s Read How to be More French Books

Christmas Books Roundup
Being a librarian it seems appropriate that I should be posting more about books here on Kremb de la Kremb. What a better way to start than with the family’s favorite Christmas titles. Each year, these books get brought out of storage and are placed under the tree. There are a few that get readyContinue reading Christmas Books Roundup
