Late summer sun, backyard, trusty pup, and an excellent book. My Sunday afternoon is going pretty great. Yours?

I always seem to read non-fiction/memoir on planes. This one kept me from having to chat with the weirdo next to me, but it wasn't my favorite. There was a lot to like, but her attitudes on race were cringeworthy.

My #favefemalecharacter is Lyra Silvertongue. She's fierce and brave, both selfish and selfless, tells lies but fights to find truth, and is a wonderful, terrible child. I love her.

I watched the movie as a child, but the book (as usual) was so much better. I just read it for the first time and I'm in love.

RebeccaRenner This was one of my favorite books in elementary school. ☺️💕 8y
HeidiSchulz @BeckyRenner Have you read the sequels? Are they any good? 8y
RebeccaRenner @HeidiSchulz I think I read at least one, but I don't remember them. 8y

HeidiSchulz @BeckyRenner I may have to check them out. 8y
RebeccaRenner I think I read Rasco and the Rats of NIMH before I read Mrs Frisbee. 8y
Louise Oh, how I loved these books growing up! One never grows out of great children's fiction! 💕 8y
HeidiSchulz @Louise Definitely. One of the great joys of adulthood is reading children's books. 8y
Louise @HeidiSchulz YES! 👍 8y

All the books that have recently ended up on my desk, piled into a stack. I used the bottom two to demonstrate second person POV for a class. The top two are my daughter's. The middle three I'm reading now, or intend to read soon. Time to clean up!

MrBook Nice stack! 8y

Vlad "the Impaler" Dracul (the historical figure that inspired Dracula), but reimagined as a teen girl. Easily my favorite YA of the year so far!

CarynCaldwell Ooh. That sounds really good! 8y
HeidiSchulz @CarynCaldwell It's even better than you are imagining. 8y

Once again, Mary Roach informs and entertains with science! This book inspired so many awesome dinner time conversations about penile transplants, military diarrhea, and medical maggots. (Good thing my family loves me.)

Perfect first day of summer read that had me up past my bedtime last night. Sweet, funny, but unflinching when it comes to difficult subjects. I loved it.

The Seventh Wish | Kate Messner
Pickpick

In this loose retelling of The Fisherman and His Wife, Charlie comes to discover that wishes are tricky, and that even magic can't fix everything—especially the problems in her family.
The story is told with sensitivity and respect for its intended audience. I could not recommend it more highly.

I've got my first hardcover copy of GIRAFFES RUIN EVERYTHING, along with a photo of the sneaky giraffe (and my irate mom) who started it all.
Get your copy August 16!

So nice of Kate Messner's cover designer to match my living room! I've been looking forward to this book for some time—a modern MG retelling of the fairytale The Fisherman and His Wife. Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

The Golem's Eye | Jonathan Stroud
post image

I'm a big fan of audiobooks for long drives, durning housework & while building my dollhouse. I'm really into this one, the 2nd in the BARTIMAEUS trilogy. I fell in love with Jonathan Stroud's LOCKWOOD & CO. & am now enjoying his earlier work.
What ways do you enjoy books—without using actual books?

CarynCaldwell I love audio books, too. An excellent narrator can add a whole new dimension to the story, and I love that I can "read" while still doing other things such as exercising or washing dishes. 8y
HeidiSchulz @CarynCaldwell It is a great way to fit in more stories! 8y
CarynCaldwell Exactly! 8y

I always like having an Ebook going for phone reading in waiting rooms or in bed after my husband has turned off the light (elicits fewer "so bright!" complaints than my lamp or my old, trusty, clip-on book light).
Newest read is GRUNT, by Mary Roach. I've been a fan since STIFF.
Do you Ebook?

ShelfSpaceLimited I Ebook at work, because for some reason it's unacceptable to have a paperback, but my Nook has yet to get me into trouble! 8y
