\"DSC_0012\"<\/a>Milo is reading (and reading and reading and READING) all the time these days, mostly Magic Treehouse books, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and most recently, the Series of Unfortunate Events books by Lemony Snicket (obviously novelist Daniel Handler’s pen name). He seems to have no interest in picture books at the moment, labeling them “baby books,” which breaks my heart just a little bit.<\/p>\n

But Oliver and Emil are still all about them, thank goodness! And some of our favorite (and funniest) books are the vintage finds we pick up at Goodwill, flea markets, and antique stores. The above are just a few of our growing collection. I love the illustrations and the gritty stories and lessons. And the innocent bunny books are Emil’s favorite. Go figure, he was born in the year of the Rabbit.<\/p>\n

I’m currently glued to The Sixth Extinction<\/a> by Elizabeth Kolbert, an immensely interesting and scary story about the sixth major extinction humans are on the path to causing. In it, we are taken on several journeys through species extinctions humans have had a direct role in causing, and the brutality of each is shocking. I am a huge science and natural history enthusiast, so it is all fascinating to read about, but be warned, it’s not the light reading you might want to engage in if you want to feel good about humanity around the holidays, ha!<\/p>\n
