It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

10/2/2017

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

Happy October! I can't say that I really have a favorite month, but this one is close to the top. To celebrate, here's a video of an instrumental piece called "October" by my favorite living composer, Eric Whitacre.

What I Read Last Week

Frogkisser! by Garth Nix (This was a cute book. I liked it on audio.)

What I'm Reading Now

Minders of Make Believe: Idealists, Entrepreneurs, and the Shaping of American Children's Literature by Leonard S. Marcus (This is a fascinating read, but certainly not a fast one. I've been working on it since Tuesday, and I'm only two thirds through. It's so interesting, though, that I'm not feeling the impatience to be finished and onto the next book like I normally would.)
Dicey's Song by Cynthia Voigt (My next Newbery read.)

What's Coming Up Next

Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin (I've been wanting to get to this one for a long time. And hey, I'm reading another book I own!)

I recently read a book that had a lot of interesting facts but took quite a while to read. The only impatience I felt with it was watching my to read pile grow. <a href=http://www.girl-who-reads.com/2017/10/its-monday-what-are-you-reading.html>Girl Who Reads</a>

That can be a problem with a book that takes a long time to read - the pile becomes a mountain! But for some books, it's just worth it. :)
