Another World Book Night choice:

Caleb's Crossing 

by Geraldine Brooks

This fictionalized story was inspired by the first Wampanoag who graduated from Harvard in 1665. In 2011 when "Caleb's Crossing" was released, the first Wampanoag to graduate from Harvard since 1665 was Tiffany Smalley, a female. This fact would have cheered the hearts of the characters from "Caleb's Crossing". Join us July 9th to find out why!

 

 Bring a friend if you're shy...

or make one here!

 

 

********************************************************

  

The generosity of the World Book Night USA, a non-profit group based out of New York, made it possible for over 20,000 free books both to be distributed throughout the United States on April 23rd. 

In Albion we were fortunate enough to have 25 volunteers distribute titles such as the:

"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"

"Kindred"

"The History of Love"

"Just Kids"

& More...

These individuals had to write an essay as to why they wanted to distribute the book in Albion  and why they loved the book enough to want to share it with someone else.

Here are some of the great book givers who came to the mutually sponsored World Book Night reception by the Albion District Library and Books & More of Albion or came afterwards.

Did you meet any of these people on World Book Night?

 

Above Donna Williams to the left said about her book giving experience, "I was excited to see different parts of the community  coming together over books. It was fun but hard sometimes because people were reluctant at first"

You can be a book giver next year!

 Please check out our website and the library's for more information next January.

Fun brain books aren't just for kids. What makes an exercise Neurobic?

  •  It must engage your attention. 

  • It must involve one or more of your senses in a novel context.

  •  It must break a routine activity in a nontrivial way. 

Check out a sample exercise below:

Sample Brain exercise:

Learn Braille. One easy way to start is feeling the Braille numbers on elevator buttons. Doing so you will have stimulated your brain to create a whole new set of neural connections.

 Or you can get the book, "The Black Book of Colors" by Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria, which teaches Braille and has some gorgeous imprinted pictures.

GUEST  BOOK REVIEW

 

      

Review by Kevin Kissinger

"The Pigeon"

by: Patrick Süskind

The novella, The Pigeon, was the second major work by Patrick Süskind, published in 1988, and is a compelling character study of a middle-aged Parisian bank guard. Jonathon Noel, the main character, lives a life of extreme regularity. Steadily, he saves his funds with the intent to buy the apartment he has been renting and to live out his days there. His clockwork-like existence is interrupted one morning when he discovers a pigeon that has found its way into the hallway outside his apartment.  The day becomes an arduous journey, as his mind is incapable of handling the situation at his doorstep. The story flows well as Jonathon can be imagined to be acting as he would under normal circumstances, but the third-person narration reveals his intense internal crisis. If one enjoys existentialism, philosophy, and/or psychology, I would recommend this book for a short thrilling read.

Review by Staff Member:  Sylvia Benavidez

Books & More's reading group has read a variety of books in it's short time of existence. "River of Doubt" was it's emotional second choice. I say emotional because members of the group had strong responses to the true adventure of Teddy Roosevelt and his son going down a tributary of the Amazon river, which provided over an hour of conversation for the group.

After a crushing loss in his bid for the presidency in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt searched for a rigorous and provocative challenge to regain his self-respect. He found it in a punishing trip down an unmapped, choked tributary of the Amazon.  With his son Kermit and Brazil's most famous explorer, Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt changed the map of the Western Hemisphere forever as well as the lives  of the people he was traveling with down this treacherous river.

The writing is not flowery, but engaging and is well-researched. As I was reading, I found myself wondering is this really a true story? How could someone who was the head of the United States make the kind of poor decisions that cost him the life of members of exploratory party and almost his own? 

A book that is a great choice for a reading group or your own personal read, "River of Doubt" is not just a historical experience, but one that can creep in our own life if we are not careful.

       FICTIONAL BOOKS THAT FEATURE BOYS

                                   

Both books feature boys as main characters. A nice touch if you're trying to interest a young man in reading. Although the books are for young adults - eight and older, the richly worded text and the well-chiseled characters engage and keep the attention of the young and old. Each story has a fish out-of-water theme and yet each child resolves their isolation uniquely.                                  

 

 
 

*A Word from the Owner*

2012 is off to a great start: weather has been cooperative, the sun has shone and as a result spirits are high.  A late winter snowstorm shouldn’t dampen these spirits because we are busy making plans for an exciting year of events.

Books & More is participating in World Book Night. Many of you are aware of World Book Night because we have talked up this giveaway of a million books for some time. If you did not sign up as a book giver, you still need to stay in touch with us as books may become available for you to giveaway closer to the date of April 23rd.  This program costs nothing to either the book giver or book recipient. It is an activity to help create the love of reading in those who do not read or read little. There are other events being planned around this event. We will update you on those as the details are worked out.

We haven’t forgotten the request for classes. The first one will be on February 29th, which is next Wednesday.  Kevin Kissinger has agreed to teach an origami appreciation class which will also teach the participants the basic types of folds and help them make an origami piece to take home. Kevin was a barista at Books & More while he attended Albion College as an art major. You might have caught him in action making origami on your visits to Books & More. Reservations are required as there is limited space. This class will start at 6 PM on February 29th. That date is coming fast so be sure to call soon.

Another class is the popular class by Holly Zblewski. We missed Holly for a couple of years but she will be back this year and will have two classes on decorating Pysanky, Ukrainian Easter eggs. The dates for these are March 19th or 20th from 1-4 PM. Reservations are a must. There is a limit of eight per class with an age limit of 12 so call in early to be sure of a spot.  There is no charge but donations for supplies will be welcomed.  The number to call for reservations is 517-629-7560 or e-mail dorothydickerson@hotmail.com.

 

Bad Joke of the Day

A policeman sees an old pickup truck going down the road with a bunch of ducks flapping around loose in the bed of the truck. He pulls the farmer over and asks what's going on. The farmer says "I've got all these ducks and I don't know what to do with them." The policeman says "there's a zoo down the road a mile or so that has a petting farm; you should take the ducks there." The farmer says OK and goes on his way. The next day the policeman sees the truck again with a bunch of ducks in the back, but they're all wearing sunglasses. He pulls the farmer over and says "I thought you were taking the ducks to the zoo". The farmer says "I did. But now they want to go to the beach!"

INCLUDES TIPS AND HEALTHY    MEANS FOR KIDS AT RISK FOR DIABETES:      

 
Eat & Beat Diabetes  by:

Dr. Howard M. Shapiro

Description-There are so many richly flavored meals in this book, which help you maintain a healthy meal plan whether you have diabetes or not. Chapters focus on healthy weight loss, a call to action for parents, and then an overview of the Diabetes Pyramid. More chapters include the topics: starches, sweets, vegetables,  protein, fats, and oils...

Here is a sample treat from Dr. Shapiro's book to celebrate spring or serve for your Easter Dinners:

           

Ingredients: Yields 8 servings

  • 8 beefsteak tomatoes
  • 1 TBSP of red wine vinegar
  • Kosher Salt, freshly milled white vinegar
  • 2 English cucumbers, medium dice
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red onion, small dice
  • 1 mango, peeled, medium dice
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chiffonade
  • 1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil

1. cut the beefsteak tomatoes in half across, and place them in a microwave-safe casserole dish. Microwave the tomatoes on high for 4 minutes

2. Remove the tomatoes, and use the back of a large spoon to gently press them through a strainer to make "tomato water."

3. Stir the tomato water together the vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until ready to use.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumbers with the cherry tomatoes, onion, mango and basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Place the salad in the center of a large bowl. Pour  enough tomato water around the salad to come approximately halfway up the sides. Drizzle the salad lightly with olive oil and serve.

Note:  If you do not own a microwave, the beefsteak tomatoes can be prepared using a large sauté pan. Cut the tomatoes in half across, and place them cut side down in the pan in a single layer. Turn the heat on low and cook the tomatoes until they soften and begin to lose their shape, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

New book is Fractions Part 1

   

 

 

Fun Family Activity 3   

     RJ Toftness author of "Unlock the Mystery to Math" has a new book out. "Fractions Part 1" deals with, you guessed it, fractions. He uses all sorts of activities to familiarize people with the concepts of fractions in real life. Here is a similar picture with a sample exercise: He shows a cake that is not cut  in half. Then the author asks the reader to color in one side of cake. He then asks is the color side one half of the cake or not? Try this with your young ones and see what they say.
