It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

5/8/2017

This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.

Saturday brought the first garage saleing (saling? How do you spell that?) of the season. I headed to a nearby subdivision sale, and came away with lots of toys and clothes for my little guy - including a Thomas train set which my husband has spent hours playing with already. :)

What I Read Last Week

The Wright Brothers by David McCullough (We had our book club on Friday. We all were very impressed, both by McCullough's scholarship and writing and the Wright brothers' tenacity and innovation.)
Still Life by Louise Penny (The first audiobook I've listened to in quite a while. I enjoyed it, and I'm sure I'll try the next one in the series sometime.)
Be Frank with Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson (Frank is an amazing character.)

What I'm Reading Now

Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde (I'm just about done with this one, and loving it as always!)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo (I am enjoying this one, but I'd like it even more if Hugo could stay on topic.)

What's Coming Up Next

The Governess of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky (I'm in the mood for some Christian fiction as a palate cleanser of a sort.)

I'm a fairly recent fan of garage sales after two big community/school ones in my town. So great for getting kids clothes! The ones I went to had a TON of books which was super fun, even if we didn't really NEED two armloads of 50 cent kids books :) We have read most of them once or more though, so it could be worse :)

Also, those school sales seem to be treasure troves of Newbery books! I guess kids read them for school and don't necessarily want to keep them. My pile is growing of excellent titles to read for your challenge - I hardly know where to start!
