Happy Easter! (Happy Spring! Happy — belated — Passover! Happy whatever you celebrate!) We had a storm blow through a couple days ago, and lost power, but we’re back on and at our house (after spending a night at our friends’ house). It’s not as sunny and warm as I’d like it, but as it is not snowing (here), I’m calling it a win.

I found this at the library and gave it to K.

She says “it was very bad and very good. Bad because all her friends ditched her because she went to roller camp. Good because I found it interesting and the story was really good.”  She doesn’t recommend it wholeheartedly, but it did make her think. (Even if it is a “comic book” — yes, her teacher still has banned them. Ugh.)

A read this:

It caught her eye at the store (because Ridley is coming…) and I bought it for her. I figured that someone in the house should read a book of his before he comes. She liked it, thought the idea was clever and fun and even though she’s not a huge fan, it was enjoyable.

C’s not reading much because there’s a play coming up, but she is looking forward to reading this in her English class:

In fact, it’s one of those times where she wants to do ALL the projects the teacher assigned (she only has to do one), from memorizing a soliloquy to writing a scene as a blog post. I’m glad she’s willing to tackle Shakespeare without complaint.

What are you looking forward to reading this month?
