A New Picutre Book Blog

Here it goes.  I am going to attempt to do a blog.  In reality, I should have started this blog a year ago, but it did not happen.  The idea/plan with the blog is to write about kids books.  Not a single blog out there covers this subject, right?  Too many in reality.  Some are really good ones (like Fuse#8 and Seven things before breakfast) and some are really bad ones.  I hope to be closer to the first group then the second group.

So how will this blog be different?  I am glad you asked.  I do not plan to do any reviews (unless I fall in love with a book, then I might have to mention how good it is).  I plan to stay very positive (I love what the Steads said on their blog earlier this year).  I really want to write about two things. 

1) Live events-  This really could be just about anything and everything.  It might be a gallery exhibit at the Eric Carle Museum (which we will see much of) or it might be an author visit to the local book store or library.  I am sure that it will involve some dreaming as well (here is looking at you Comic Con).  If I am totally honest, it will be some back posting (is that actually a real term or did I just make it up) as well.  I have been lucky and done some really cool stuff and seen some really cool stuff, so I might have to post some of it.

2)  Stuff or things-  I love random things.  So I will be posting LOTS of that type of stuff here.  In fact, I will probably post more of that then anything else.

Lastly, you probably should know a little about me.  I love books and I love art, so picture books are the perfect blend for me.  I am a nerd and I have a very patient wife and two amazing kids names N and Z.  Feel free to ask me anything!

Honestly, I have no idea how this will turn out.  I hope that it will be fun, so I hope you stick around.
