Bookish Boys on TV!

Posted on June 1, 2017 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, I was invited by author Kameel Nasr to talk about books for boys on his show “Local Authors” on Cambridge Community TV. My first live TV interview! In fact, my first TV interview, period. I was delighted to accept and get the word out about Bookish Boys.

Kameel is founder of The Curiosity Foundation, and a Cambridge-based author himself. His books include a mystery series set in Boston, and a memoir about a bicycle trip around the world.

Watch our conversation on youtube, and do give us a thumbs-up if you enjoy it!

Books and audiobooks I mentioned during the interview:

  • Where The Sidewalk Ends (audiobook – see my review)
  • The Dreamer (book and audiobook – see my review)
  • A Long Walk to Water (audiobook – see my review)
  • Percy Jackson and the Olympians (though my boys were mortified when they heard me attributing Percy’s paternity to Zeus and not Poseidon. In my defense, I haven’t read the series yet, which is why it’s not yet on the blog! Percy, you’re definitely on my list now.)

Book gifts

Book Bonanza 2

Books dominated the gifts my boys received this Christmas 2018. Between aunts and uncles, grandparents, parents and Santa, the boys made out like very successful book bandits indeed. I would have been very jealous about their haul, except that my own gifts included some great books too. Read more…Book Bonanza 2

Smore Magazine Cover

Give me Smore: a science magazine for girls (and boys)

Magazine subscriptions are a great way to engage reluctant readers. Magazines provide content in bite-sized chunks; almost always contain wonderful photographs, graphics, and comics; and include ideas for hands-on activities. There’s also nothing quite like the feeling of getting something fun in the mail every month with your name on it.

I recently came across a children’s magazine, a newbie on the scene, that I wanted to share with you: Smore Magazine. Read more…Give me Smore: a science magazine for girls (and boys)
