It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

3/19/2018

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

My almost two-year-old (how did that happen??) has discovered two of the wonders of spring - watching the birds through the window and making shadow puppets when the sun is shining. I love rediscovering the little things like this through his eyes!

What I Read Last Week

Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck (I loved this one!!)
The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler (This one was good, but I'm not sure I was intrigued enough to keep going with the series. We'll see if I'm still thinking about it in a few weeks.)

What I'm Reading Now

Into the Heart of Borneo by Redmond O'Hanlon (The blurb on the cover describes this travel narrative as having the "soul of Monty Python." It is a rather bumbling journey so far.)
Writer to Writer: From Think to Ink by Gail Carson Levine (I wrote stories all the time in high school, but haven't for years. I'm hoping this book will inspire me to pick up my pencil again.)
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot (I'm on page 437 out of 710.)

What's Coming Up Next

A Flight of Fancy by Laurie Alice Eakes (Time for some Christian fiction again!)

My son LOVES looking for birds and nests in the trees too -- it really does make me slow down and appreciate those little things that are so full of wonder for him, but that I'd come to take for granted as a grown-up :)

Right? He'll stare out the window for a full five minutes (about the longest he ever sits still) to watch the birds. I love being on the lookout for these things again. :)

Oh my gosh almost two!! It goes so fast! My kiddo just turned three and started preschool today. I can't believe it.

I love the cover for Writer to Writer.

Have a great week!
