It seems like the week gets away from me before I read enough picture books to my girls each week. I need to make a more concerted effort to do this. Lulu’s assigned book this week was George Carver from the Childhood of Famous Americans series, and I read parts of a couple of biographies about George Washington Carver to the girls. (More on GWC later!) Louise found (hurray!) and finished Aunt Eater Loves a Mystery and got really close to finishing Maybelle Goes to Tea. Our new chapter book read-aloud is Little Britches, which is an out-of-the-ballpark success so far. I finished and reviewed Let the Hurricane Roar. I’m still working on The Wilder Life, and I’ve barely started a YA pick I got off the new shelf at the library–Dead Reckoning.
Have you had a bookish week?
(February 17-22, 2012)
That’s an impressive stack there! : ) I need to do better about reading chapter books as well … something that has slipped of late and I need to rectify that!
I’m reading The Wilder Life also. Do you like it?
FYI, I emailed you to the hopeistheword address. Not sure how often you check it so I thought I’d let you know to look.
Alice, I just read your email and will respond ASAP. I’m enjoying Wilder Life, though I’m finding it a bit convoluted at times. You?
