I just finished A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. A great book, but since it's not due out until September, I'll hold off on reviewing it for a while and continue down my pile. My black and white Nook did not do justice to the illustrations. You can check out a few pages on illustrator, Jim Kay's website.
2 books and 3.25 hours into the 48 Hour Book Challenge. Working on Grace Lin's Dumpling Days and making lunch for my son who's sick.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry your son is sick. Maybe you can read to him as part of your time.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you both to be concerned about my son. I'd love to read to my sick, fever-ridden son, however, he's 14 so my prospects don't look good! ha! ha! Sadly, those days are over. I did, however, give him my copy of Oddball: Hilarious, Unusual, & Bizzare Baseball Moments to read.
