daemonlunaIt's a rare occurence, but it has been known to happen--I'm tired of reading right now.
I scooped up all my varied and sundry to-read piles from both schools before the break. Today, I curled up with a stack of books and made it through a dozen of them. Okay, so one was already half-done, and seven of them were Gr. 1-3 chapter books. (Estimated reading time: 10 minutes each) But still. And I spent most of the morning poking through the fruits of assorted seasonal fanfic challenges.
Public library books waiting to be read: 12
Unfinished books brought home from both schools: 81
What I've read over Christmas break so far that isn't fanfic:
Ready or Not by Meg Cabot
Under the Jolly Roger: Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber by L.A. Meyer
Bloody Jack: being an account of the curious adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, ship's boy by L.A. Meyer
Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Weiner (grown-up book)
Talk to the Hand by Lynne Truss (grown-up book)
First Test, Page, Squire (books one to three of the Protect of the Small series by Tamora Pierce
Say What? by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Patricia's Secret (Our Canadian Girl: Izzie Book Three) by Budge Wilson
The Children of Green Knowe by Lucy Boston
Tris's Book, Daja's Book, and Briar's Book by Tamora Pierce (books two to four of the Circle of Magic Quartet)
The Hand of Robin Squires by Joan Clark
Island of the Aunts by Eva Ibbotson
Don't Sit on My Lunch and The King of Show and Tell by Abby Klein
Horrible Harry and the Locked Closet, Horrible Harry in Room 2B, Horrible Harry and the Dragon War, Horrible Harry Moves Up to Third Grade by Suzy Kline
Stink the Incredible Shrinking Kid by Megan MacDonald
Eighteen down, ninety-three to go. Of course, twenty-three of those are books I've already read, some fairly recently (The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place, The Bone Collector's Son, The Amulet of Samarkand), other many, many years ago (My Side of the Mountain, Pippi Longstocking), and am just skimming so I can book-talk them.
So really, that's only seventy books.
...
Of course, there's always that brand-new copy of Anansi Boys sitting there...
