Spring Break
I should have been heading to the airport to catch a plane to Phoenix in about three hours, but alas, Kayla’s husband came down with the plague, forcing us to postpone the trip until April. Fortunately, I have more than enough to occupy my spring break, thanks to my local library, the Austin library system, Inter-library loan, UT’s library, and the Notable Books library.

Thanks to Lisa for the inspiration
Costume books… Too bad it is only research reading and not for fun… Oh well! It will still be fun!
Nothing. I clearly need to check something out when I return kids’ books tomorrow. I liked that you have Anne of Avonlea on your list. Hmm.. Maybe I will just read that whole series again.
“What do you have checked out from your library right now?”
You really want me to list all 32 of them? I admit it – I have a problem.
i have to second the suggestion to skip the white darkness. i don’t know how to explain why i didn’t like it, but let’s just say some people should never write adolescent lit.
Oh geez. So jealous and intimidated. I’m reading Cheaper by the Dozen- hilarious. And I have The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Bankes on my shelf and many others on request. Plus, I’m reading a few different books with my kids (one of my fav. parts of teaching!)
The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews (good Canadian adult fiction)
The Wednesday Witch by Ruth Chew (a favourite from my childhood, wanted to see if it was as good as I remebered and reread it with my 7 year old)
The Only Snow In Havana by Elizabeth Hay (haven’t read yet)
The Rough Guide to Blogging by Jonathan Yang (I AM going to start a blog!)
You mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid Or Crazy?! A Self-Help Book for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder by Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo (still working my way through this one… will have to renew it… again! A typical situation for ADDers!)
Can’t wait to hear what you think about some of those……I expect goodread review at the least (I assume you won’t do blog reviews on all of them).
