It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

10/13/2014

This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

This past week, I had the opportunity to take my students to our state capital. It's always fun to see how excited they get, and how impressed they are by the beautiful building. This is one of my favorite field trips all year, and we all had a great time!

What I'm Reading Now

The Queen of the Big Time by Adriana Trigiani

What's Coming Up Next

Dewey's 24 Read-a-thon is this Saturday (yay!), so I picked up a couple short books from the library today.
Zoobreak by Gordon Korman (It's hard to find titles that start with a Z. Has anybody else noticed that?)
Criss Cross by Lynne Rae Perkins

I have been struggling through a non-fiction book for a month now! But I have also enjoyed a couple of fictions along the way! My attention has turned mostly to crocheting and knitting right now. I have put that beloved hobby a side for too long and am really going crazy with it again. I love to see a finished project and the gifting of it. I don't think I will reach my 50 book goal this year but I have enjoyed most of what I have read. :)
Happy Read-a-thon!

What matters about reading is that you enjoy it! I'm glad you are enjoying your crocheting and knitting projects. Have a great weekend, Joyful!

Enjoy the read-a-thon. I will be out of town and unable to participate.

I can relate to having to sort out emotions for The Goldfinch. I liked, but then felt it got bogged down a bit, then liked again, then the ending ... rant? That threw me.

Definitely got bogged down in the middle. I liked the ending. It kind of seemed to pull it all together for me. Still trying to figure out how I feel about the book as a whole!
