The Past Week:
I had a pretty good week of reading. I was excited to finally get to a few books that I had been hearing about, Sisters, Absolutely Almost, and The Fourteenth Goldfish. I am sure that there are students at my school that will love them. I did enjoy meeting Albie, but I was not as excited about Absolutely Almost as some of my Nerdybookclub friends. It was good though.
I really loved On My Block: Stories and Paintings by Fifteen Artists and will be ordering it for my library. The other art book I read, When Stravinsky Met Nijinsky, was also quite good. Goal! was another interesting non-fiction book. The photographs are fantastic and the facts are fun. I enjoyed Pig Park and reviewed it over at Rich in Color.

I'm listening to When You are Engulfed in Flames and One Year in Coal Harbor and am reading these other two the old-fashioned way. I am not sure what else is up next, but maybe Sugar and/or The Year of the Rat. I hope you have a wonderful week!
David Sedaris is a hoot! His sister Amy is a riot as well! Can't wait to read Sisters!
ReplyDeleteYes, he's been making me laugh. So did Sisters. :)
DeleteOhhh. I haven't heard of any of the books you plan on reading this week, but based on that title, I think I am going to go check out a synopsis for Kiss Kill Vanish. It seems like it might be a fun thriller.

It is a thriller. I've been enjoying it. I think it comes out in a few weeks.
DeleteOn My Block does look wonderful. I've read some, but still haven't read Sisters-so many have reviewed it well. Thanks, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteI just read Freedom Summer and I can't wait to get to Countdown and Revolution!
ReplyDeleteI want to reread Smile before getting to Sisters.
Just need time....
Yes, time is the key. ;)
DeleteI love the cover of Sisters.

I liked Pig Park, and was lukewarm about Absolutely Almost as well. It was the whole nanny thing, which apparently is something that happens even here in the midwest, but which I completely missed when my children were younger! Curious to see what you think of Revolution-- good, but SO long! It has been a deterrent for many readers. The book itself is so heavy!
ReplyDeleteOn My Block is my kind of reading material. I've read practically all of Leonard Marcus' books and I find the lives of artists and storytellers infinitely interesting. I have to get my 12 year old girl a copy of Sisters soon. :)
