I had a Grand Plan to make a vlog for this, but then it SNOWED (and I should have done it then) and we got off our schedule, and yeah… it just Didn’t Happen. Here’s their thoughts on what what they’ve been reading.

K: Recently finished reading The Adventures of Nanny Piggins with her dad, and fell in love. She still can’t stop talking about it. She thought it was Hilarious, and loved Boris the ballerina bear the best. She’s become a Nanny Piggins evangelist, begging her older sisters (and me; though I read — and liked — the sequel) to read it, too.

A: Read the ARC of Rump, by Leisl Shurtliff, because C recommended it to her. She liked it, but was annoyed it took too long for the main character to figure out his name. That said: it kept her interested until the end.

C: Snagged the ARC of Rachel Hawkins’ new one, School Spirits. Probably the best way to describe her reaction is through this series of tweets:

 M: Finished both Finnikin of the Rock and the ARC for Dark Triumph, the next in His Fair Assassins. The short version about both? Everything else — including the mounting physics homework — went by the wayside because she couldn’t finish them fast enough. (Finnikin was slow going at first, but I told her to stick with it and she did. And she was REALLY glad, too.) Great books, both of them.

Maybe next month I’ll get that vlog up.
