Our House in the Middle of Our Street

A few of the stack  Well if the last few months were a bit...ahem...slow, this was where everything came together! I finished a ton of titles I was in the middle, and started and finished quite a few, as well. * Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - Again, I will read everything RR writes (....except have little interest in the fanfic that's actually a spin-off of this title) because it's like candy to me. A little bit of a romantic interest, Gilmore-esque humor, and setting that I know intimately (this one was on my university's campus! and MY COLLEGE BUILDING!) always make these books so enjoyable. I think I have one left, Landline , in her collection that I haven't read it. I get that the nostalgic place levels these up in my eyes, but I think anyone who wants a smart and funny beach reach would really enjoy these, especially Attachments . * Quarrels by Eve Joseph - I know I read this book of poetry in November, but...(so sorry!) I can't really remember anythi...

This month was rough on reading. This lovely stack above just couldn't compete with all of my obligations that really started up in October, including co-op with the kids, and honing my homeschool support group's ski + snowboard registration files before releasing them on Oct. 30th (and alllll the communication that will need to happen between now and February). That last one alone takes up at least a cumulative hour of my day, perhaps more, until early December.  I only was able to finish one of those books up top, but two are thisclose to being finished, and the other two are at least half-way, so perhaps November will look better for the reading list! * Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens - This was a book club pick that was just pure delight to read. It was a very hyped-up book but the lushness of the setting (southern marshland) was just so lovely to read through. It's about a little girl who is abandoned by family and learns to survive in the backwoods...
