It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/11/19
Last Week
It was such a busy week! Monday and Tuesday were spent continuing to work on the garage renovation and I will tell you, it finally feels like we’re making progress! The walls are up, primed and painted and this weekend I finished up the lighting. Now, we’ve got to put all the stuff back in the garage. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were spent spending some quality time with friends. Saturday was spend working in the garage and I finally took a few hours to clean the house from top to bottom and do buckets and buckets of laundry.
That being said, I was actually able to read quite a bit! I started the week reading Just Under the Clouds by Melissa Sarno. I couldn’t get my hands on a copy of this last year and after reading a galley of A Swirl of Ocean I knew I needed to go back and read Melissa’s debut novel. And let me tell you, I’m kicking myself for not having read this earlier! It’s a beautifully told story of loss, homelessness, family, and friendship.
I then read four chapter books that I’m using as part of a presentation next week. They were Bat and the Waiting Game by Elana K. Arnold, Sasquatch
Reading List for Week of 3/11/19
The YA titles I need to read are Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram, Sadie by Courtney Summers, Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett Krosoczka, and The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton.
And, I’ve still got Genesis Begins Again by Alicia Williams, The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu, and To Night Owl from Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan from the library.
