I started last week's Monday recap with the following: "Good morning. It's Monday and my kids are finally back in school after being out almost all of last week. It's refreshing to have a quiet house and to be able to focus on work today." The funny thing is that I can say the exact same thing again this Monday. Once again, my kids went to school on Monday and then were home the rest of the week. This week, I'm convinced they will actually be in school for the whole week. They better be!!
Book Review: Son by Lois Lowry
Book Review: Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
I finished reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn in time for my book club discussion last week. I have to admit I dropped my rating a bit after talking through it with others. I did enjoy it, but there were a few too many issues with the way everything was resolved.
I then started reading The Alphabet House

ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to decide whether to read Dark Place, so I will head over to your review.
You had a good reading month - and way to keep up on the reviews! I'm trying to get better at that this year.

I'm trying so hard with the reviews. I don't want to let them get away from me again! Sorry to hear schools were closed there again. I'm hopeful we are finally past the winter storms here in NC. Fingers crossed!!
