What Are You Reading: March 28, 2011: 03/27/11

This week I am on Spring Break. So is my son. Although we are not in school, we both have projects to work on. He has a diorama to make and has chosen The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan.

Meanwhile, I plan to create my list for my award winning children's book project and get as many of the books from that list read and annotated as possible. Most importantly, though, is the building of the list and the collecting of the books. The project is due at the end of April.

I also hope to work through some of the wishlist books I have at home. One of those books is The Widow's Season by Laura Brodie. I also have volumes two and three of Clamp's XXXholic from the library to read but first I have to finish volume one.

Looking at the books I finished last week, the breakdown is six picture books, read both for school and with my daughter, five for fun and one for review.

This week's current reads include three for fun, six for school and three for review.

The vast majority of them though are picture books which are short.

I'm about a third of the way through volume 9 now and I have volume 10 at home to read too.

Awesome. I wish I could have a reading speed like yours. YAY. You also read Azumanga Daioh. I love that manga. Do you like it? What I am reading

Pussreboots

Yes, I love Azumanga Daioh both as manga and as anime. It was my second time reading the omnibus.

Just had spring break and am back to work today. Looks like you and your son will be busy while you are off. Enjoy all your read this week.

Yes. He has his diorama to do and I have a children's book list to compile and read.

What a nice selection of books! I'm curious about The Dazzle of Day.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

I am behind on my reviews but I will get The Dazzle of Day reviewed as I work through my list. I can tell you that it's pretty good hard science fiction, although it got a bit too episodic for me near the end.

What a nice variety of reading! My students and I are big fans of the Scaredy Squirrel books. Have a good break!

Scaredy Squirrel didn't hold my daughter's attention.

I don't mind the long term projects.

Wow! You get though so many books! I am amazed! Here is my post.

Most of the books are short.

I got through a good chunk of The Widow's Season.

Your project sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you share your list with us once everything's finished. Have a great week off from school.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable posting school work on my blog. I might review individual books from my list but probably not the list itself.

You've got a busy week lined up. Enjoy!

It's pretty calm compared to most weeks.

Wombat Walkabout sounds absolutely adorable. Good luck getting a lot of reading done on your spring break!

It is a cute book. I thought it might be by an Australian author but she actually lives in Salinas, California.

Hope you enjoy Spring Break, Sarah....

IntrovertedJen

The Battle of the Labyrinth should lend itself to a fun diorama! Enjoy your books!

Pussreboots

I think so too. I'll take photos of it when it's complete.

We just finished out spring break - I work in a school. It was hard coming back to work - lol.

You have a lot of books in all of your lists - good luck with your projects.

Abigail Ann

I don't think I know of any of those books- it's lovely to see a range of different books being read by bloggers

Thanks. I have more going because of school than I otherwise would.

I am slowly reading from my wishlist. I have one wishlist book going right now: Generation Loss by Elizabeth Hand.

Hopefully you get a good balance between pleasure and school reading this week :)

I finished a wishlist book and started another one but mostly I read books for my project.

Thanks. I mostly worked on long term projects and helped my son with his homework.

Chinoiseries

You seem to be really busy, but still, you manage to read so much :) I adore Azumanga Daioh, it's a manga (and anime!) to go back to frequently. Always good for a laugh. I haven't read xxxHolic or Ouran High School Host Club (though I have heard they are quite good).

Comment #42: Friday, April 1, 2011 at 22:53:42

Pussreboots

I've seen Azumgana Daioh, the anime, many times. This was my second read of the manga. For xxxHolic, I prefer the manga to the anime (though it is also good) and prefer the anime of Ouran High School Host Club to the manga (but again both are very good).
