in lieu of everything else

I was taking am taking a self imposed blogging break to celebrate a week of Easter with my family.

Today, as you know, is usually the day that I post my Read Aloud Thursday post. Amy @ Hope is in the Word has her post (and today she's talking about Benjamin's Box which is a book we are making good use of ourselves this week!). My activities today are a little different.

I DO have a Read Aloud Thursday post but it's up over at Reading to Know today. You can CLICK HERE to see it.

In addition, in honor of April Fool's Day, I'm hosting a slew of giveaways over on my main site - Reading to Know.



I have a complete set of Mysterious Benedict Society books to giveaway.



I also have a complete set of the Strictest School in the World series to giveaway.

These two series are some of my FAVORITES! I'm of the mindset that everyone should own a copy of these books for their own home library (because they are seriously good stuff!) and so I hope you'll pop on over and check out what I'm sharing at Reading to Know. Later in the day there will even be a giveaway from Sleeping Bear Press which is a favorite children's book publisher of mine. So keep a look-out! =)

In the meantime, I'll be back here next week with another load from my library.

Happy Easter, all!
