It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 8/24/15
I don’t know what happened this week, but I got very little reading accomplished. I was expecting to read a lot on Monday (I had the day off) but instead ended up at a pop-up concert with Stevie Wonder in Philadelphia. It was a lot of fun, very hot, and something completely unexpected. Other than that, I’ve been training for a 10k which leaves me exhausted at night and rather than reading, I go straight to bed. So with that said, I read The Murdstone Trilogy by Mal Peet which will be released next month. It was a really interesting read and not at all what I expected. And then yesterday, I whizzed through Inbali Iserles’s story, Foxcraft: The Taken. It is the first in a series with magic, talking animals, and more. I’d expect some kids who enjoy fantasy would like it. This story set up a lot, but I didn’t get a lot of answers as I’m sure more will be revealed in subsequent titles. And that’s it – just 2 book!
Hopefully, this week will be a little better. I plan on reading what I didn’t get to last week as well as few I’ve picked up from the library.
- The Shrunken Head by Lauren Oliver
- Currents by Jane Petrlik Smolik
- Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman
- The Education of Ivy Blake by Ellen Airgood
- Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
