The first week of summer break is over, and I can already tell that this summer is going to go fast. I'm almost done wrapping up things from last school year (report cards and such), and am looking forward to some nice relaxing time before gearing up for next school year. This past week also included my first Library Day of the summer, where I checked out way too many books (as always). Just an excuse to spend some extra time reading, I guess!

What I Read Last Week
 |  |  |  |
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (I enjoyed this one. My thoughts will be posted next week.)
The Dress Shop of Dreams by Menna van Praag (I always enjoy some magical realism.)
The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg (I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. Very promising first book!)
Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse (This is an audiobook I'd been working on for a few weeks. I don't get through audiobooks very fast. It was amazingly funny, as all of Wodehouse's books are.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley (I've loved the other books I've read by her, and so far, this one is no exception.)
The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge by David McCullough (I'm trying something a little different reading-wise. I want to read this book before our trip to the East Coast later this summer, but I have this huge stack of library books to finish as well. So I'm reading one chapter of this book a day, and then switching over to my library books. So far, the system is working very well. I might have to try this more often!)

What's Coming Up Next
Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach (I think this may be the next one I pluck off my library stack. That is, if I can get it away from my husband, who is devouring it about as quickly as he can read!)
