The Book Seat

The Book Seat is this really cool beanbag pillow that has a plastic band at the bottom so your arms don't hurt when you read. I think it is great! I have been using it since Book Expo America (BEA). It holds thin books, text books and anything in between. It is very comfortable and doesn't hurt no matter how heavy the book is. Anyone who loves to read but is tired of their arms hurting should get this pillow. It comes in many different colors: blue, purple, red, brown and more. I love it. You can learn more about these really cool and comfortable pillows at http://www.thebookseat.com/.

Well, I'm going to go and use the book chair to go read more books,

The Wide Awake Princess by E.D. Baker

This book is about a girl named Annie, who is a princess with absolutely NO magical gift. Surprisingly, magic doesn't affect her, either good or bad. Annie's sister Gwendolyn is the prettiest princess in all of the kingdoms. A wicked witch cursed Gwendolyn so that if she was ever pricked by a spindle she would sleep for 100 years. On Gwendolyn's sixteenth birthday she was pricked and everyone in the kingdom, (except for Annie) fell asleep. It was up to Annie to find Gwendolyn's true love to kiss her which would wake her up. At first, Annie traveled alone in the forest, but was then joined by Liam, a guard from the castle who was not at the Castle when the curse happened. Annie and Liam get into all sorts of trouble. Along the way they pick up princes who they think could possibly be Gwendolyn's true love. Annie learns many secrets Liam is hiding. Were they secrets that were better kept quiet? Who is Gwendolyn's true love? What happens to Liam and Annie? Do they fall in love or is it Liam's kiss that wakes Gwendolyn?

I recommend this book to third graders. I think they would like this fairy tale with a twist.

Well, I have got to go and read,
