Wanting You to Have Fun Since 1994
I started reading a Christmas gift in evening storytime last week, and people seemed to like it: Roverandom, by J.R.R. Tolkien. It’s about a dog who gets turned into a toy by a wizard and his adventures after that. Everybody knows about The Hobbit and...
I mentioned The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren last time, a beloved book from my childhood that I’m going to read this time, as it’s a book that takes place during winter but isn’t about Christmas so I didn’t have to fit it into the schedule...
Well, we’re done with Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas, but I’ve got lots more holiday things to read to you, including a story about Rudolph’s second Christmas, some things I always read at Christmastime, and I could always read some things that I read at...
Storytime as usual today! In morning storytime we’ll be reading more of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas and maybe something else too! Evening storytime will be other holiday themed stuff, or the same thing if people missed it! The “Early” Stream for our friends...
Continuing with the Centenary Edition of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas, we’ll learn more about life at the North Pole, the antics of Karhu, the North Polar Bear, and other characters at Father Christmas’ Cliff House. The “Early” Stream for our friends in the...

Starting to look like autumn here. I wonder if I can find anything in my book stash (augmented by Squeakybunny’s huge book donation) that’s just about autumn, without being about Halloween or Thanksgiving? Well, if not, I’ll find something to read. There’s lots I’ve never...
Well, by the time storytime rolls around, we in the USA (and Canada, too!) will have turned our clocks back, changing Eastern Daylight Time to Eastern Standard Time, so I’m effectively doing storytime an hour later, and the schedule’s back to its old familiar self....
I’m not sure they fully understand the implications of what they’ve done, but the leadership of FurAffinity, the self-described “world’s largest furry website” (though it may not be the largest for much longer), has just made a change to their art upload policy that is...
We’re done with Ralph S. Mouse! What did you think of the Mouse and the Motorcycle saga? But this time, storytime is on July 4, which is the USA’s Independence Day. I’m going to try to find something America-ey to read. But also, in New...
