End of school time is always busy, seems like. Can't believe summer is almost here. Depth looks interesting, and Ratscaliber looks fun!

I think you would like Depth. It's a hardboiled mystery but set in a near future, flooded New York.

The end of the school year is so busy! My son is only in preschool but I worked in a school for years, and I remember how crazy it was for everyone! Hope things even out soon. :)

The two projects are now turned in. That's it for the big last minute things.

Tempting books! I keep eyeing Bad Neighbors.

I like the Agnes and Effie mysteries. They're not as polished as some but they're entertaining.

I hope your daughter finishes all her projects! It looks like you have a lot of reading planned. Have a good week!

I enjoyed Sunny, but not as much as Ghost and Patina. I haven't thought of Elise Gravel in a long time but I remember really liking her Adopt a Glurb when I was working as a librarian. The Mushroom Fan Club looks quirky and fun.

Patina is my least favorite of the series so far, if I had to pick a least favorite. I liked Sunny's voice.

I am amazed at the number of covers here. Our neighbor has to do a lot of projects; he goes to a Catholic school in the next town over. My youngest mostly has essays to write. The teenager has a final, 8th grade math project; I forgot what it's supposed to be but at least she's working with a friend on it. A fellow blogger in the northeast loved the Vanderbeeker series. I need to listen to it again while I multitask.

The last two projects are now turned in. We're in the final three weeks of the school year.

Bah, I need to read that Danielle Paige series, it looks really great! Sounds like a great week! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!

The Paige series is good but it's not very Oz despite including nearly every character Baum and Thompson created.
