So, I only got through about half of my summer reading list this year. I got a little distracted, what with two of my favorite books coming out as movies ("Help" and Harry Potter-I felt the need to re-read both of them). However, I did get through Sense & Sensibility (Brian thinks I am "meaner" while I am reading Jane Austen) and Ingrid Law's follow-up to "Savvy" the new book "Scumble". I'm hopefully she keeps the series going, I think they are really unique, and great books for reluctant readers (it is a young adult book). I also stumbled across James McBride's memoir "The Color of Water" while I was at home, and I'm still not sure how it wound up in my parent's house, but it was extremely interesting. I'm about half way through Moll Flanders, and hope that I can squeeze in some time between taking care of Theo and grading papers to keep reading throughout the school year.
Theo is very excited by one of his new books,"Dear Zoo". The board book version of this children's book has flaps that he can lift to find different zoo animals. He LOVES it!
