Having a 5 day work-week can really cramp the amount of reading you do in a week! Then throw a 3-day swim meet into the weekend, and it makes it really tough. I crammed a lot in on Sunday, so I think I came out ok :) Read some great informational texts, I'll feature those on some upcoming Wednesdays!

I actually read this a few weeks ago. It somehow never made it on here or my Goodreads shelf! Loved this book. Can find so many uses for it. I think the kids will pour over the illustrations and stories.
Still reading....
Yes, everything from last week!
And as if I didn't have enough to read, this came in for me at the library:
The Pure trilogy by Julianna Baggott has been so fun to read. She has had such a different look on the world-has-come-to-an-end society than other writers. The first book in the trilogy was ok. The ending picked up the pace and that is what made me continue the second book. I loved the second book, so I'm glad I stuck with the series! Now, it's on to the final book! The start has a good hook, so my fingers are crossed!
Can't wait to see what you are reading!
The Pure trilogy has been recommended to me a few times. I was initially hesitant about the whole doll hands thing, but maybe I should just be brave and give it a go!

Even with snow days and delays, I still finding it hard to her reading time in. I still need to get to Flora and Ulysses. Just finished Snicker of Magic - that was excellent. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteIf you are still reading novels, these look like pretty amazing ones to be reading! I'm reading Flora & Ulysses aloud right now to my children. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteHi there Michele, Water Hole Waiting sounds like a good companion text to Graeme Base's "The Water Hole." Looking forward to reading Flora & Ulysses - definitely a book that my daughter and I would read this 2014.
