Donors Choose and Red Stamp unite

Photo 1Two companies that are near and dear to my heart united to create a collection of cards for Donors Choose with the Red Stamp app.

You can celebrate kids and teachers through Donors Choose by helping students in need.  For the price of a pack of #2 pencils you can unlock 12 awesome cards that you want to text, email, tweet, post to Facebook or send the old fashioned way on a paper postcard. 

You can incorporate your "back to school" photos, apple picking adventures or anything to your friedns and family while supporting Donors Choose at the same time.  100% of the proceeds of this collection go directly to Donors Choose.  The Red Stamp app is free and available here in the iTunes store for your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch ( yes android is coming soon ).  Once you download the app, simply go to the "Collections" page and tap on "Donors Choose" to purchase the collection (a one-time flat free of $2.99).

Super excited about this. The app is great and being able to support Donors Choose at the same time is a win win for everyone.

books of the moment

  • Peggy Riley: Amity & Sorrow: A Novel
    A mother drives for days with her daughters and ends up in a random Oklahoma town after crashing the car. They come from a polygamous community where there were 50 wives. The mother had grown up knowing life outside that community. Over time, after leaving, she almost becomes deprogrammed. The realization of what she did to her daughters who no nothing outside the world they came from including how to read. Then there is the family that brought them in. It is a fascinating story. Well written. Worthy read.
  • Charles Graeber: The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder
    An amazing true story of a male nurse who was arrested in 2002. I actually remember the story as I followed it in the papers. This nurse was a serial killer who had probably murdered over 400 patients that were under his care. A seriously well researched book. Great read.
  • Meg Wolitzer: The Interestings: A Novel

    Meg Wolitzer: The Interestings: A Novel
    Wolitzer writes about a group of camp friends who all come from different walks of life (some on scholarship) as their friendships continue through their mid-50s. At the beginning the story seems trite but as you continue to read there is a lot of be said. The story is sticking with me. She makes the case that everything that happens to you from your childhood makes an impact on who you become or don't become. Worthy read.

  • Elizabeth Strout: The Burgess Boys: A Novel

    Elizabeth Strout: The Burgess Boys: A Novel
    Strouts last book won a Pulitzer. She focuses on family issues. I enjoyed this book much more than Olive Ketteredge which I found utterly depressing. This book follows two brothers and a sister who live in the shadow of their fathers accidental death. Like most siblings, all have turned out very different yet they are connected. I did not love any of the characters, like her last book, yet as The Burgess Boys moves forward and memories are revealed, it is an interesting perspective on human character.

  • Tamara Shopsin: Mumbai New York Scranton: A Memoir

    Tamara Shopsin: Mumbai New York Scranton: A Memoir
    Great book. A witty spare inventive personal diary of Tamara journey from Indian to New York to Scranton. Really really enjoyed the book.

  • Michael Lavigne: The Wanting: A Novel

    Michael Lavigne: The Wanting: A Novel
    An incredible book that tells the human side of the many layered issues in the Middle East. From immigrating to Israel from Moscow, to being a victim of a suicide bomber yet surviving, to being pulled into an Israeli radical group. Each character is connected. Very layered well written book. Powerful

  • Alessandro Piol: Tech and the City: The Making of New York's Startup Community

    Alessandro Piol: Tech and the City: The Making of New York's Startup Community
    A history of the Internet that I lived through. Great job of recording what happened.

  • Amity Gaige: Schroder: A Novel

    Amity Gaige: Schroder: A Novel
    Not sure how much I loved this book. A father loses his child in divorce and decides to kidnap his own daughter. He is not a stable person but he obviously loves his daughter. His own childhood has made him a disconnected human being. An interesting journey but not sure I'd recommend.

  • Ernest Hemingway: The Old Man and the Sea

  • Janice Steinberg: The Tin Horse: A Novel

    Janice Steinberg: The Tin Horse: A Novel
    a good novel that not only tells the tale of another dysfunctional jewish family in the early 30's but interweaves pieces of los angeles history throughout the book.
