It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/27/17
I finally finished Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz – it took me quite a while to finish and it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy reading it, for whatever reason it just took me some time. It’s the perfect book if you have a middle grade reader who likes fairies…

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books I Wish Had More Magic

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…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
This week I was able to get back on track with three books I read! The first book I read was called The Entirely True Story of the Unbelievable FIB by Adam Shaughnessy. A great story for those kids looking for mythology books – a specific focus on Norse mythology as…
