Week in Review

       aaa1

Good morning. It's summer vacation here! Yay! Actually, that just means my kids are at camp this week while I work. But it's still nice to know there's no homework and the kids are having fun.

Reviews and Posts
Last week, I posted two reviews:
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Reading
I read a great middle grade spy novel, Codename Zero by Chris Rylander. C read it as well and we both loved it. It's a great storyline but also very funny. We'll be working together on a review for this one.

After that, I started reading Honolulu by Alan Brennert, which has been on my shelf for a long time. I'm also going to take some time this week to read a couple children's books I have for review: The Curtain Call Caper by Christy Barritt and The Story of the Unlucky Teacher and Her Koalas by Nina Johnson.

C is now reading The Lemonade Crime by Jacqueline Davies and M is reading Junie B., First Grader Aloha-ha-ha! by Barbara Park.

What are you reading this week? It's Monday! is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, so hop over there if you'd like to see what others are reading too. You can also check out the younger version of It's Monday!

    My 12 year old girl used to adore Junie B Jones when she was younger - not quite familiar with this title though.

      There are so many Junie B books it would be hard to keep track of all of them! Thanks for stopping by!
