I was trapped at the middle school all week running the book fair. If you think this left me any time for reading, sadly you would be incorrect. I spent more time straightening messes made by apathetic and attitudinal teenagers and counting the paltry sums we made than I did reading. And given that the school blocks so many websites, I couldn't write reviews to post either. Can you see me now at the bottom of the reading/reviewing hole I keep digging deeper and deeper? This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.Books I completed this week are:
The Paperbark Shoe by Goldie Goldbloom
Someone Will Be With You Shortly by Lisa Kogan
The Art of Saying Goodbye by Ellyn Bache
Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:
Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens

At least you HAD a book fair. As far as I can tell, our middle school doesn't. And my son usually lives in the library, where he can avoid all the other students.
