The problem comes when you like the story but don't like the reader. I'm in that bind now - and I don't feel like I have time (or want to take the time) to read all the Newbery honor books. I'm listening to "Penny from Heaven" and love the story but the reader keeps putting the wrong emphasis (IMHO) on the words. For one thing, she pronounces Pop-pop wrong. I had a Pop-pop, and Simon has one now - I know these things.<br /><br />BTW - nice sock and sweater. Also - nice formula for giving books a chance - thanks for sharing the Pearl wisdom.<br /><br />Should I apply for Kristin's old job?Cat Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146086943795408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9836580.post-30595826930338366382007-02-06T06:53:00.000-05:002007-02-06T06:53:00.000-05:00Pooch, when you're over-50, Nancy Pearl says to su...Pooch, when you're over-50, Nancy Pearl says to subtract your age from 100.

Yes?<br /><br />Just printed your sock recipe because I'm trying something new with socks and needed a good, basic pattern.
