Picture Book research at Barnes and Noble

Posted on March 7, 2016March 7, 2016 by Christine Alemshah

This past sunday, I was able to get out and do something I haven’t done in quite awhile! I walked into a yummy book-scented Barnes and Noble complete with a cd section ala Blockbuster Music, and headed to read some popular picture books! Of course, whenever I pass anything that might of interest to my…

Writing and rain

Posted on February 18, 2016February 18, 2016 by Christine Alemshah

  I opened up the front door earlier this evening to check for packages on my doorstep, and while I was not blessed with a bundle of goodies, I did get to take in a deep breath of damp, cool air with a slight musty smell that only comes with new rain. Though it is…

Library Days: Mission Viejo Library

Posted on July 11, 2013July 15, 2013 by Christine Alemshah

The return of summer means the return of library days for me. I always find them to be bustling with excitement. On my way inside I observed this beautiful mosaic butterfly.

How will you say 2012?

Posted on January 4, 2012June 16, 2013 by Christine Alemshah

Happy New Years! It’s 2012! Like the old saying goes, “You say tomayto, I say tomahto.” Some will call it Two-Thousand-Twelve, some will call it Twenty-Twelve.
