Books.

I am in a funk. There are many books on my to read list, but none of them sound all that appealing. In the last month I have probably checked out about 5 books for myself.  I have made it only 2-3 pages, possibly 1 full chapter. I just can't get through any of them. I just don't want to read right now. It kind of makes me sad. Though, I know I go through phases. The only book that I have finished because I wanted to read it myself lately was Alice in Verse.



It was impressively good. Then again, I don't really like poetry. So maybe that means it is super good or possibly it would be awful to those who regularly enjoy poetry.



Today my mom, sister and I went to a Scholastic warehouse book sale. I spent more money than I intended too, but got more than I was expecting to.

Due to your insatiable curiosity I will share my treasures with you. Today I picked up my own copies of-

• Calvin and Hobbes, Scientific Progress goes Boink.
• Calvin and Hobbes, Revenge of the Babysitter.
• Catching Fire, and Mockingjay, The 2nd and 3rd books in the Hunger Games series.
• Skippyjon Jones, Lost in Spice
• A Sick Day for Amos McGee
• Rhyming Dust Bunnies- So very funny
• Knuffle Bunny Too, by Mo Willems- He is becoming one of my favorite authors.
• Wayside School is Falling Down
• Flawed Dogs, by Berkley Breathed. I could own all of Breathed's books and be a very content individual. If you have never read "Pete and Pickles", go to your library immediately and get a copy out. It is fantastic. My poor children's librarian hadn't read it yet and I pulled it off the shelf and told him to read it as soon as possible. Next time I saw him, he was raving about how great the book was. Seriously, it is humorous and touching.

So that was my haul. I am finally excited about reading again. Gonna start me some Catching Fire and take The Man in the Iron mask back to the library. Someday I will be in the mood for it. Now is not that time.
