It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


Good morning. I'm getting some work done this morning then I have to run out to the YMCA to switch around some of my son's camp arrangements. Trying to get ready for the summer since this is his last week of school. I can't believe he's about to finish first grade!

As far as reading goes, I finished A Game of Character by Craig Robinson last week, and put up my review for that one.

I also wrote up my May month in review post. That month seems to have flown by!

And I shared some of the books my kids are reading, including some old favorites.

Currently Reading
I'm currently reading The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley. It's been on my bookshelf for a long time and I finally decided to take the time to read it.

Up Next
I still need to finish up A New Prospect by Wayne Zurl, and then I'm going to move on to a book I have for review called Dead Barchetta by Kathryn Lively.

What are you reading this week? This meme is being hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, so hop over there if you'd like to see what others are reading too.

  1. I'm interested to see what you think of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. I have that on my TR list and was thinking about reading that after The Glass Castle.

  3. Hope you enjoy the book from your TR shelf - I have so many sitting on mine I need to purge so I have room for some new ones. Happy reading!

  4. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie should be an excellent read. All his Flavia books are becoming favourites all over!

  6. Oh, I've been wanting to read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie for ages! I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

    Last week of school here, too. Summer means no early morning alarm clock and quiet, easy evenings...but it also means no quiet days in the house for me! Much harder to get any work done with the kids here.

    Enjoy your books this week!

Banned Books Week: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park

This is the end of Banned Books Week and unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to write about banned books this year. But I did want to include at least one post about it, so today I wanted to share one of the book series that it seems most people are surprised to find on the list: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park.

According to Wikipedia:
The Junie B. Jones series came in at #71 on the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books from 2000-2009. Reasons cited are poor social values taught by the books and Junie B. Jones not being considered a good role model due to her mouthiness and bad spelling/grammar. This is an interesting example of a banned book. Many times there are serious, controversial topics featured in books that are challenged. Things like homosexuality, drugs, vulgar language, etc. You can actually understand why people may not want their children to read those books, and why they may challenge their inclusion in school libra…

Book Review: No Story to Tell by KJ Steele

Victoria has been put down since the day she was born. First by her parents who were disappointed that she survived while her twin brother died. Then by her verbally abusive husband and his low-life friends. But soon an intriguing artist named Elliott arrives in town and starts encouraging Victoria to follow her dream of opening her own dance studio. She also begins to receive phone calls from a mysterious someone who gets her to open up about her past and face her true feelings.

In No Story to Tell, KJ Steele has captured the small-town atmosphere and brought these characters to life. From the victimized Victoria, to her drunk and obnoxious husband Bobby and his drunk and obnoxious friends, to all the side characters who you'd expect to encounter in a town like this ~ all are so realistic in both their actions and their voices. She has written a compelling story of an abused woman who thinks she is trapped in this loveless, miserable existence. But then she finds a spark of hope…

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you? You will after reading Clare Mackintosh's latest release I See You.

But she starts to realize this may not be a good idea after seeing her own photo in an advertisement in the newspaper. Another woman who appears in the advertisement is murdered and Zoe starts to ge…
