Books I Finished This Week:
The two books I finished are both picture books. I am reading too many books at once again and so not really finishing any of them.
Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library is a cute book that I got from NetGalley. It is one I will definitely look for when it comes out in August. I love how the author really highlights all the great things you can do in a public library.
The Night Children by Sarah Tsiang is a beautifully illustrated book. I felt that the premise of the book was kind of creepy and I think some kids might be scared to think that when they are asleep there are some other creatures going about doing things, but maybe I am just super sensitive.
Books I am currently reading:
I am still listening to Winter by Marissa Meyer. This young adult series just keeps getting better. I am also still reading Death Comes to Pemberly by P.D. James. I am also reading In The Woods by Tana French and Finding Your Element by Ken Robinson as well as a book about restorative practices in schools.
What’s Next?
I still want to get to Gae Polisner’s new book The Memory of Things. I will probably have to put some other reading on hold to get to that.
What are you reading this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
I used to always read multiple books at a time, but recently I’ve been sticking to just one or two. I suppose I will go back to multiples at some point. I’m looking forward to Gae’s newest book coming out.
I wonder if it is that I am too old, but I can’t do too many books at a time. I think I don’t really get into them enough to appreciate them, so I’m stuck with one or two at a time. In the meantime, I look forward to reading what you think of these when you are done.
Ah! The Memory of Things is on my list for this week! I am hoping to get to it soon. I can’t wait!
