Friday Findings: Commonplacing, Go Set a Watchman, Reading Aloud (and gorgeous staircase)...

Oh, don't miss Jennifer Dow's Introduction to Commonplacing post.  I was inspired!  I've made many feeble attempts at commonplacing, but in the end, it usually falls by the wayside.  I really want to be better....maybe this is something to work toward in the new year...

Have you read Harper Lee's prequel to To Kill a Mockingbird?  I have not...yet, but plan to in the future.  In the meantime, I was intrigued by Missy Andrews' Matters of Conscience – Reactions to Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman.  In light of all the hype, I was thinking some of the same things.  It was a rough draft people...of course, it wasn't polished! 

Here's a good reminder about The Benefits of Reading Aloud.  Most of all, I love the steps in the photo!! If I had stairs, I would like to paint them like that :)

Do you wonder what others are reading?  Here's a short Youtube clip by Carole Joy Seid with her latest recommendations.   It's funny, I just bought Gilead at our local Goodwill, but was thinking maybe I paid too much for it and should take it back.  Now, I think I may keep it!

I love this photo of the boys, which I've titled, "Summer's End"...
