It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (December 24): 12/24/18

Hosted by Kathryn of Book Date.

Here it is Christmas eve. We're having a quiet time at home, just the four of us and our cats. My daughter and I are making lasagna Napoli for dinner. Dessert will be mint ice cream and sprinkles.

I didn't do any painting this past week. With it being the last week of school I was busy running last minute errands before the holidays. Plus my kids' schedules were more erratic which meant less time for painting.

What I read:

• The Third Mushroom by Jennifer L. Holm; personal collection
• Clobbered by Camembert by Avery Aames; library book
• Inkling by Kenneth Oppel and Sydney Smith (illustrations); personal collection
• Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott; personal collection

• Runaways, Volume 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell and Kris Anka (Illustrator)
• My Life as a Diamond by Jenny Manzer; publisher copy
• Al Capone Does My Homework by Gennifer Choldenko; library book
• Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower; personal collection

Up Soon:

• P.S. I miss you by Jen Petro-Roy; personal collection
• Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian; personal collection
• The Boy from Tomorrow by Camille DeAngelis; personal collection
• Ivy Aberdeen's letter to the world by Ashley Herring Blake; library book
