It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

4/30/2018

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

My husband and I had a lovely little getaway this weekend. My two-year-old stayed at his grandparents' as a trial run for baby's arrival in June, and we got some time to relax, visit bookstores, and eat yummy food (we found the most delicious ice cream!). Then Saturday was Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, which I participated in only sparingly. The toddler was rather demanding of my attention. :) But I did get almost three hours of reading in, which is more than I expected!

What I Read Last Week

The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street by Karina Yan Glaser (Five star read, for sure! And the perfect book to take on vacation.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (I'm enjoying this one so far.)
Rebound by Kwame Alexander (I started this one before our trip and haven't gotten back to it yet, but that's okay. It would be easy to zip through this one in an hour or two, but I'd rather savor it.)
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot (I'm on page 680 out of 710. I should finish it this week, and then my Classics Club list will be done!!)

What's Coming Up Next

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown (This book has gotten a lot of love on the Books Between podcast, so I thought I'd give it a try.)

I somehow missed you were having a baby! Congrats!! How fun.

Great that you and your husband had a little time away.

The Wild Robot looks really good, so does the Vanderbeekers! Have a great week. :)

Thanks, Erin. We're very excited! The Wild Robot was a good read, but I loved The Vanderbeekers! :)
