Last week was a great week for reading. I usually read a book a two a week but last week I read a total of ten books: four young adult, two middle school, two adult, and two picture books. I’ve been in the mood for young adult fiction so I checked out an armful of books from the library last week.
This is what I read last week:
- My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick
- Debbie Harry Sings in French by Meagan Brothers
- Ethel and Ernest by Raymond Briggs
- Into the Forest by Anthony Browne
- Bone Vol. 1: Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith
- Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson
- Peace, Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson
- Where I live by Eileen Spinelli
- The Great Paper Caper by Oliver Jeffers
- Say, Hello by Jack Foreman
This week I plan on reading:
- Grayson by Lynne Cox
- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
- The Family Man by Elinor Lipman
- The Latent Powers of Dylan Fontaine – April Lurie
- The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
- Bone Volume 2 by Jeff Smith
- Bone Volume 3 by Jeff Smith
- Everyday Matters by Danny Gregory
- Full Dark House by Christopher Fowler
- The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet by Reif Larsen
I know it’s a lot of books but many of them can be read in one sitting. I’m also participating in the Summer Reading Blitz, which challenges readers to read 30 books in 30 days for the month of June. We’ll see if I can finish every one of these books by next week.
What are you reading this week?
I’m finished! At 7 AM this morning I crossed the finish line for the 48-hour challenge. This weekend was not the best one to sit down and just read. I visit family, battled migraines, cooked, clean . . . This weekend was so busy.
