It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

6/8/2015

It's summer!! Friday was our last day of school. Time for sleeping in, the chance to get things done that I normally wouldn't have time for, and lots and lots of reading! Bring on the books!

What I Read Last Week

Sorcery & Cecelia, or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer (Loved this book in so many ways!!)
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis (I like this book more and more every time I reread it.)

What I'm Reading Now

Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (My college roommate recommended this book to me, oh, about 10 years ago. I'm finally getting around to reading it!)

What's Coming Up Next

Wednesday is my first Library Day of the summer. I'm certain to come home with a stack that is twice as large as I could possibly read before the due date, but that's half the fun! I'm so excited!

Magicians Nephew is awesome! Probably my second favorite of the Narnia books.
I can't believe you haven't read Uncle Tom's Cabin?! It's pretty good... though I think probably somewhat overrated.

My college roommate had the same reaction - "how have you never read this book??" It's been an interesting reading experience so far. It's both what I expected and not what I expected, all at the same time. Not quite sure how, but it is. :)

I just finished Uncle Tom's Cabin and I loved it! I think everyone should read this novel! I cried and laughed and got very very angry. I learned a lot about slavery and Tom is one of the most loving characters in any book I've ever read I really hope that you like it :)

I agree - Uncle Tom's Cabin was a great book. I'm surprised it isn't taught in more schools so that more people would read it!
