Life:
My ma has had both of her surgeries and is still recovering. In the meantime, she seems to have decided being stuck at home is the perfect opportunity to get some projects done. She can't really do much herself, but she has no problem making lists and directing others. Nothing else is going on in life other than the usual.

We'll see about what I actually manage to read. As for posts... I have many more children's books to post.
How are you finding the Gregor books? Are they as good as The Hunger Games?
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome week!
I wasn't a huge fan of the Hunger Games. But I'm really enjoying the Gregor books. In fact, I just stayed up more than half the night listening to the third one...
DeleteI've only read the first book in the Spiderwick Chronicles. Thanks for the review! I might finish reading them. =)

I enjoyed all of them. There is something about some fantastical children's stories that helps when things are entirely too stressful in real life.
DeleteI did pick up "The Night Bookmobile" by Audrey Niffenegger. The ending!?! I was like (0.0) I'm just going to say, I don't feel that was a good message about the love of books. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteDo you understand why I couldn't really say more?
DeleteNo kidding. It would have been a major spoiler. And don't get me wrong, I don't regret getting/reading the book. I was just left a bit speechless.
