What Are You Reading: February 28, 2011: 02/27/11
This week I wasn't as swamped with academic research and writing. I am working on a project for my materials for children ages 5 to 8 class and that means lots of trips to the library to pick up appropriate books.
I did, however, finish a bunch of books I've been working on. The best book from last week was Diamond Ruby by Joseph Wallace.
My Currently Reading List is mostly text books. My fun reading: Azumanga Daioh, Kraken and The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie has mostly sat unread this week. It's not that I'm not enjoying them; I just have been too busy to read them.
A book I'd like to start soon is The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. I've swiped it out of my son's room. I'll probably start it after I finish The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

A big chunk of my reading is related to school.

It's busy, busy time! It's hard to read when you have so much else to do. But sometimes a short break with a book can be nice.

That's what I've been doing in between all the text books and other assigned reading.
Comment #5: Monday, February, 28, 2011 at 11:48:41
I've really been wanting to read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Have a great week.

You should. It's a delightful mystery.

I loved Flavia, she was my favourite character last year, hope you enjoy the Alan Bradleys book.

A lot of it is for school.

If you managed to read that many books and that was a slow week, I really do not want to see how many you can read when you don't have research and other things standing in you way. Have a great week

More than half of the books I read were picture books.

The reading reflects what I am doing in school right now.
Comment #15: Monday, February, 28, 2011 at 17:48:21
I need to read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie as I've already read the 2nd book in the series and loved it (I'm never one to do things in the correct order!). I hope you're enjoying it.

You too? I seem to have a knack for starting with book two first. I'm surprised I actually started with the first one this time.
Comment #17: Monday, February, 28, 2011 at 21:18:04
I really want to read Kraken! I've heard so much about it! Have a great week!

Kraken is a detail rich, densly plotted book. I've been savoring it since Christmas but I hope to finish it this month.

Yes. Most weeks are like that now.

I loved the Diary of Pelly D. I read that awhile ago and had forgotten about it. Great read! I love your lists!

I enjoyed it so much that I've put the next two books in the series on my wishlist.
