It's Monday and I'm a bit lethargic

Hey kids. I'm feeling a bit grumpy and lethargic right now. I'm going to chalk it up to someone being sick in my house for the past month or so and just a lot of frustrating stuff going on. I guess the good news is that there is still lots of reading happening in this house. I took the kids to the library this weekend, and current favorites are Mercy Watson and the books of Brian Selznick.

As for me, I read The Gone-Away World and The Bluest Eye. Then I snuck in Nimona on Saturday while I waited for dinner to cook in the crockpot. Yes, I am the last book blogger to read it and yes, I get all the love now.

    The Gone-Away World   The Bluest Eye   Nimona

This week, I participated in Book Blogger Appreciation Week by interviewing Julianne of Outlandish Lit. I reviewed Sara Bareilles' memoir Sounds Like Me and did my weekly check-in of the joys and trials of one Alexander Hamilton.

Now I'm planning to read Ariel Lawhon's Flight of Dreams and Dorothy Must Die. 

         Flight of Dreams (Advance Reading Copy - Not For Sale)   Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die, #1)        

What are you reading this week?

    You are not the last book blogger to read Nimona. I will save that honor for myself because I have absolutely no desire to read graphic novels of any kind. LOL!

    YES I loved Nimona so very much. I don't usually read a lot of graphic novels, but I really enjoyed this one. Such likeable characters.

      I'm trying to read more graphic novels and everyone seemed to be raving about this one. It was a good choice!

    Nimona is such a brilliant read - love how the very concept of monstrosity was challenged in a very tongue-in-cheek fashion in the graphic novel.

    So you're definitely not the last book blogger to read "Nimona" because I don't even know what that is! Probably means I should ho look it up right now... Hope your week is looking up! :)
