Season’s Greetings: Please come home!
The song appeals to me for its classic pop sound, but also for its combination of an upbeat melody with rather wistful lyrics. The theme is a fairly common one in Christmas pop music – it’s supposed to be the happiest time of year, but you’re separated from someone you love and that makes it sad: What song is it? The lyrics are quoted, and other thoughts about the song are shared, in a guest […]
Shufflin’ over to Music Savvy Mom!
One of my blog categories here is “pop culture: music” because I’m just the slightest bit addicted to it. I used to post random lists of songs from my iPod regularly, and I like responding to music-related prompts I find on other blogs (although I was at a loss for last week’s Weekly Geeks topic: songs that remind you of books). I’m responding to one of those prompts at another blog today. Susan Helene Gottfried […]
Visiting with Friends
A few members of the “Southern California book-blogging sorority” met up this past weekend in Irvine, where we were joined by special out-of-town guests – Jen from Devourer of Books, visiting from Chicago, and baby Daniel! Jules of A Book in Hand was there too, and it was all organized by My Friend Amy. We spent a couple of pleasant hours talking about books and blogging; Jen has more details about it in her Sunday […]
Where it all happens: SCENE OF THE BLOG!
I was very excited when Cathy invited me to be part of her popular “Scene of the Blog” feature at Kittling: Books. Cathy does a lot of fun things on her blog; in addition to book reviews, she runs reader polls and the Friday Feud, and showcases artwork featuring books and reading. Anyway, today’s the big day for The 3 R’s. I hope you’ll stop by Kittling: Books and see where the magic happens – […]
GUEST POST: Live from West of Mars…it’s Susan and ShapeShifter!
Please welcome author and book-blog-community-builder Susan Helene Gottfried to The 3 R’s! Susan and I originally connected years ago on BookCrossing, but lost touch until I re-discovered her through her blog, West of Mars: The Meet and Greet. I had the opportunity to read and review her first collection of fiction about the band ShapeShifter, The Demo Tapes: Year One, last week (all of which was originally published on her blog). Today, she shares some […]

GUEST POST: Channeling My Mother
Today is the ninth anniversary of my mother’s death. I’ve written about her and her passing here and here, but she wasn’t just my mother – she was my sister Teresa’s mother too. Teresa previously guest-posted here in June, during my road trip, and I welcome her back again today with her remembrance of Mom. ================================= I lost my mother twice. On October 8, 1999, while I was pregnant with my first child, she passed […]
Mothers of Intention: Red, blue, and purple at PunditMom’s place
***UPDATED 9/10/08 9:00 AM – please see below! +++ UPDATED AGAIN at 9:20 AM – keep going… Earlier this year, PunditMom was motivated to open up her blog to weekly guests in a feature she called “Mothers of Intention.” Things are heating up in the presidential race as we winnow the field of candidates. And emotions, as I’m noticing on comments here and elsewhere, are reflective of that. So I’m introducing a new, regular feature […]
Paul’s Ten on Tuesday: Bad guys, bad guys…
Someday I’ll probably have to go back to writing my own responses to Ten on Tuesday, but not just yet. This week’s topic, “10 Favorite Villains From the Movies,” is another one tailor-made for my husband the movie maven, so here’s another guest post from Tall Paul. Interestingly, a couple of them also made an appearance in his earlier guest post naming “10 Favorite Movie Characters.” Is that support for the idea that the bad […]
Bookworms Carnival Preview/GUEST POST: “It’s a Boy? What am I Going to Read to Him?”
This submission to the Bookworms Carnival was written by Emily Cullen. Emily doesn’t have a personal blog (yet) – which is why I’ve published it here as a guest post – but you can read her contributions at the New Jersey Moms Blog. Consider this a preview – the Bookworms Carnival is coming on Wednesday! I found out very early on in my pregnancy that I was going to have a little boy. I won’t […]
