pickThis was a fun book filled with stories from people all over the country about grammar. The Grammar Table is such a unique idea, one that connects many people in so many different ways. This book had me laughing out loud or groaning at the personal stories people shared and listening to the audiobook—which is narrated by the author—made the stories better. 4/5🌟
My Kindle went with me on my vacation to France and Switzerland. My friend teased me for reading while on the ferry with all this beautiful scenery. I can multitask! I did look around between pages. She said if anyone questions my dedication to books, I can show this picture.
pickA useful reference book and an entertaining read! Grammar with a sense of humor.
I‘m at the beginning of the book,but Reading Jackie will appeal to people who are book lovers & fans of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.I like how it‘s focused not on her fashion nor the men whom she married,but on who Jackie was as a women. A women who loved of words 🤍
“This book celebrates the accomplishments of a woman whose editorial talents have never been sung .” -#WilliamKuhn #ReadingJackie
pickThe first thing I noticed about this library copy was the evidence of true love. Someone has read this book over and over. Scieszka and Barnett have a humor that kids can relate to, and they crack me up. Myers' illustrations look simple at first glance. The whole book design is genius. Extra ☆ for mentioning Godzilla.

The last two classes for my certificate program started this week, so I'll be spending a lot of quality time with this book over the next 10 weeks!
pickCan a book about style & clarity in writing be one of your favorite books of the year? I‘m here to tell you it can. And you don‘t have to be a writer to enjoy this one—anyone who enjoys books, peering into the world of editing, or delving into the nuances of the English language will find a lot to like. With lots of humor & obvious but never pompous expertise, Dreyer has written a great book that belongs on the shelf with the big style manuals.
