What Are You Reading: February 20, 2012: 02/19/12
My daughter and I enjoyed two Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie books, including the newest one, Listen to My Trumpet. We also re-read a bunch of books which is why I'm not adding them to this week's list. Last week at the library book store I found a 98 year old Clarence Budington Kelland novel, Mark Tidd in the Backwoods. It was a bit of a splurge at $8 but I so adore his novels and haven't read this one, that I had to get it. I've also started reading it. I'm about 1/3 of the way through already. This weekend we went to Redding and Lassen Volcanic National Park for a mini-vacation. That means I've been out in nature and not reading. As I do most of my reading on the weekends, you'll see a much shorter list. I did finish The Technologist by Matthew Pearl but not Robopocalypse. I'm about halfway through the audio. Maybe this week I'll finish. I also want to finish Bellwether by Connie Willis and try again to start Outside In by Maria V. Snyder. What about you? Finished:

Comment #1: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 01:13:22 Great find at the library! You just reminded me that with me using my library's website so much, I haven't looked around and wandered the stacks in ages - not good. Comment #2: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 20:45:11 Pussreboots This was a find in their charity shop. I typically steer clear because I'm trying to weed my own collection first. But I had to look and found something great. Comment #3: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 01:25:27 Shorter list - but it's still impressive. Comment #4: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 20:48:12 Pussreboots We had a great trip. We're planning to go more often, if just for day trips. Withering Tights is a really cute YA. Comment #5: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 06:03:10 My kids and I love Mo Willems. Have you read the knuffle bunny books? Classic Mo which means I love reading them aloud as well. There are three - Kunffle Bunny, Knuffle Bunny Too and Knuffle Bunny Free (even the titles crack me up!) You can check out my Monday here. Comment #6: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 20:48:12 Pussreboots We have all three and have read them many times. Comment #7: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 09:21:58 I've got Bellwether on my wishlist. Hope you're enjoying it. Have a good week! Comment #8: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:33:32 Pussreboots I finished it this morning. It was very funny! Comment #9: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 09:26:57 I'm curious about The Googlization of Everything.... Withering Tights tickled my funny bone, just saying the title. Enjoy! Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST Comment #10: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:34:32 Pussreboots I had to read The Googlization of Everything for class. It's not something I would have picked up on my own. Withering Tights is a cute book. Comment #11: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 11:17:10 You can't pass up those family times. I really miss hiking and walking at some great trails. The books always wait for our return :) Comment #12: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:35:11 Pussreboots It was great to get up to the mountains, see some snow and take some photos. We had lots of fun. Comment #13: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 12:46:42 Sounds like you had a fun weekend. I'd take nature over anything most days myself. Have a great week. Comment #14: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:37:24 Pussreboots It was a great trip. I'm glad we went. Comment #15: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 16:37:17 Glad you had a little getaway! What did you think of Withering Tights? I've seen it on the shelves at the library. Comment #16: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:38:33 Pussreboots I really enjoyed Withering Tights. It's a nice follow up to the Georgia Nicholson series. Comment #17: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 18:36:52 Hope you have a great reading week! Comment #18: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:39:38 Pussreboots Thank you. There will be a lot of homework, so I'm not sure how much fun reading I'll get done. Comment #19: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 20:34:15 Hope you are enjoying The Red Herring...I have to get back to Flavia. I've only read the first book! Comment #20: Monday, Febrary 20, 2012 at 21:41:03 Pussreboots Yes but I've only just started the book. I haven't even gotten to the mystery part of it yet. Comment #21: Tuesday, February, 21, 2012 at 04:52:25 I enjoyed the wordplay on some of the book titles :-) Comment #22: Monday, February 27, 2012 at 17:06:45 Pussreboots The books with the silly titles were fun reads. Comment #23: Tuesday, February, 21, 2012 at 08:43:15 The national park sounds like a wonderful way to spend the weekend! Have a great week Comment #24: Monday, February 27, 2012 at 17:07:48 Pussreboots It was a great mini-vacation. Comment #25: Tuesday, February, 21, 2012 at 22:53:23 That's still a lot of great reading progress despite missing some time for your trip! Congrats :) I'm jealous!!! Comment #26: Monday, February 27, 2012 at 17:08:25 Pussreboots Reading with my daughter and not watching much TV helps.
