Happy Friday! I have a quick list of favorites for you today. It’s full of sunshine & books!
Favorite 1: BOOKS! I have been reading and listening like crazy this week! I finished two audio books and two ebooks. I loved The Wedding Veil by Kristy Woodson Harvey and The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanan. Luke loved The Spy Who Loved Ice Cream (#2 in the Spy Penguins series). I was a little disappointed in Open Book by Jessica Simpson. I’d heard a lot of great things about it and I was looking forward to her reading it, but it wasn’t for me. I finished it, but I listened to it on 1.5x after the first few chapters.
I started Adult Assembly Required by Abbi Waxman, which comes out next month. I got so excited because in the first few pages Nina Hill pops up. Nina was the main character in Abbi’s book The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. I love when authors bring characters back!!
Favorite 2: PLAYING!! The kids had an early dismissal day on Monday. I love those days because there are bunch of kids playing outside in the neighborhood. The rain stopped for a little while on Wednesday afternoon and a bunch the kids were outside playing again. I love the weather warming up and more kids playing outside consistently. We have a net for the driveway, but Jack and Luke were using the house as their tennis net this week. 😂
Favorite 3: LIBRARIES!! April is School Library Month and this is Library Week. I made sure to visit my public library this week. They had a contest recently to design a new library card. They are selling them for a fundraiser. I was happy to get one, especially since our library is fine free. I checked out a bunch of picture and middle grade books to get ready for next year’s Battle of the Books selection committee.
My school library has been a busy place this week, too! I kicked off our school-wide book club by handing out 550 books to students and staff! We are reading a few chapters a week and talking about it in classes. Spring According to Humphrey is a big hit already!
Hello Monday – April Goals
Currently
This weekend Luke has a lacrosse and a soccer game. Jack has a golf match. I have a virtual baby shower for my cousin and I’m looking forward to seeing my cousins, even if we’re online. I’m going to keep working on those April goals. Have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!
