Another dismal reviewing week (a mere trio of reviews) and an equally dismal reading week with one a pair of books completed. At least I'm almost completely officially finished helping the 5th grader with the hideous Heritage Project that requires much more mom homework than I think is acceptable. (OK, truth telling here: I think *any* mom homework is too much so this project goes beyond the pale.) After all, I've been through 5th grade before and did very well at it thank-you very much. I don't need to prove that I am smarter than a 5th grader. I know I am. This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. Books I completed this past week are:
The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap by Wendy Welch
The Summer Before the Storm by Gabriele Wills
Bookmarks are still living in the middle of:
Let the Great World Spin by Colm McCann
The Blue Notebook by James Levine

Cut your loss and give up on some of those books that need reviews! I have a number that need reviews but hey, it's been a while that I read them and well, I don't know that I want to write those now.
ReplyDeleteBut then, I never got them for review so I don't HAVE to. Maybe you do? Good luck anyway!
I don't need to prove that I am smarter than a 5th grader. I know I am. <~~ LOL, that made me crack up ;) Good luck with "your" homework!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week of reading :)
I am giving up on Let The Great World Spin. I bought it for book club but then something came up and I wasn't able to attend. It's now been almost 2 years and I have zero desire to read it, so it has gone, unopened onto my giveaway pile. Maybe yours should too since I think you've been "in the middle of it" for about the same amount of time. Let it go.
