When I look at the list of books I read
last month, I feel like I was a bit of a slacker. This is especially so when I
compare the numbers from previous months.
Why? Because unlike other moths,
I only finished 21 books in September.
In my defense, I was in Texas for a
week, visiting my sister and her family. We did a lot of prep work for my niece’s first
birthday party, as well as just spending time together. That seriously cut into my regular reading
time. No complaints, as it was worth
every moment!
Another reason there aren’t as many
books on the list is that Brindi and I have read all the picture book awards
lists. Well, the lists we were focusing
on: Belpre, Caldecott and Coretta Scott King illustrator.
Here are the titles I read in September:
- Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11 by Floca, Brian
- A Dog Called Homeless by Lean, Sarah
