 JUNE WAS BURSTING WITH BOOKS!

June was a busy month - we traveled to Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Virginia! we ate yummy food, visited with family and old friends, and made new friends.  And celebrated Joe's 50th college reunion. We listen to books on CD when we travel and those are listed below. Though they are becoming scarce - I am going download audio books from the library for the next trip. My reviews of all of these are on Goodreads. A few books from my current reading stack are below - what are you reading?

Somewhere in the Bayou by Jerome Pumphrey Punky Aloha by Shar Tuiasoa Mindful Mr. Sloth by Katy Hudson Dim Sum, Here We Come! by Maple Lam Jack the Library Cat by Marietta Apollonio Stormy by Guojing

HOORAY FOR MAY!

Lots of reading this month! And lots of picture books. The Mermaid Moon is a fun book if you are into mermaids thanks to the new Little Mermaid. And Jarrett Krosoczka's new graphic novel - Sunshine - is magnificent. It is a companion to Hey, Kiddo! though you don't have to read that one first. I am currently reading Elf Dog and Owl Head by M. T. Anderson and thoroughly enjoying it.
