Happy May! (Seriously: It’s MAY? School ends in 19 days? WHERE DID THE TIME GO? I could swear it’s still March, although I’m glad it’s not.) On a side note: I just realized that I’ve crossed the 2500 post threshold. I’ve stopped keeping track of blogging milestones (it’s been more than 10 years, people!) but that seems something worth mentioning! (I’m amazed, anyway….)

My kids’ reading has gone down this month. In fact, out of the three that are at home. I can only think of one who actually read something at all. (Not true: I just thought of something K read.) A lot of that is end-of-the-year busy-ness: field trips and event days and projects and plays, but some of that is an uptick in electronic usage. That seriously needs to be curbed, especially with summer coming on. Maybe rewards for books read? Suggestions are always welcome….

So, C got A hooked on this:

 She seriously plowed through it, eating it all up. And for the record, she’s Team Cal (which makes C very happy).

And I picked up an ARC of this in Pasadena, and K discovered it:

It’s a bit “weird” but it’s also pretty cool: a girl magician who has to play basketball to defeat the bad guy. I think she thinks it’s weird because of the art style, but she completely loves the story.

That’s about it. Are your kids reading anything good?
