Breathing and Reading

I tell my kids that we read every day we need to breathe, so I'm here to share what I've been reading.  October was a busy month, but I made up for it in November.  A week off for Thanksgiving helped a lot.  I hope you can find something here that looks worthwhile.  

October

Sarah Addison Allen writes wonderful stories.  I loved this one.

This isn't my favorite by Allen but it's still a good story.

An interesting read but not a feel-good one for sure.

I rarely read memoirs.  This is an engaging one.

November

This book had a few slow moments, but I would still recommend it.

I loved Ivan, Stella, Bob, and Ruby.  Great story.

I feel bad saying this, but I was a little disappointed.

Everyone must read this YA.  I loved the story and the message.

I didn't embrace this YA.  

This is either YA or slightly younger and so enlightening.

This wasn't a waste of my time, but it wasn't my favorite either.

The essence of the story is a good one, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I found this in the juvenile non-fiction section of my library, but it felt older than that.  It's beautifully written.

I was hooked from the first page.  I liked this YA a lot.

This was an enjoyable YA for sure.

I enjoyed Stargirl much more than this one.

There were moments that drew me in and others I trudged through.  Now I need to see the movie.

I enjoyed this Christian historical fiction novel.

Does anything catch your eye?  Here's to some breathing and reading.  :)
