Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo
March 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Books
When I was a child, I loved reading Tikki Tikki Tembo out loud. Supposedly the author based it on a Chinese folk-tale but I have read a number of articles that dispute this.

The “Bookinist” by Nils Holger Moormann
January 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Art, Books

10 Things I learned from reading romances as a girl.
January 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Books
I love romance novels. My family and very close friends know this and take every opportunity to rib me about it. My husband loves to look over my shoulder and proceed to do his own dramatic interpretation of the book. This never fails to irritate me to no end. I think I found my own [...]
