Today's theme: Have all your eggs in one basket

The first books that popped in my head when I saw this week's theme, were children's books!

The goose that laid the golden eggs I used to love this tale as a child. In fact, it is one of the stories that I use in my extra classes for early readers. I find it amazing how many students hear and read this story for the first time in my class. Shouldn't kids know all the fairy tales and all the fables long before school? Ah well, never to late to learn a lesson or two from tales old as time.

Green eggs and ham I still want to put green coloring in the eggs one morning. Serve it with ham on toast.

Humpty Dumpty Quite sure that you are now saying the nursery rhyme in your head. Did you know? Humpty Dumpty is one of the best nursery rhymes to help your child if they struggle with the formation of sound parts and the formation of letters in your mouth. It contains all the letters and sound formation except for "ch" (useless info, I know). 

I've written a post on Infertility as an underlying recurring theme in many popular novels earlier this week What turns you into " The girl on the train ". As I was browsing through Goodreads to find a few novels I haven't read regarding this issue, I came across the following two covers:

What came first by Carol Snow. I love this cover! The book itself is also one that made it onto my TBR list. 

I'm taking my eggs and going home a memoir by Lisa Manterfield. It is definitely my favorite cover for this week! 

Thalk to me!

Did you get all your eggs in a basket? Please share them with me!

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
