So because I can't tell you what I am reading, I will instead tell you what two of my children are reading, in their own words.
Eliza is excited to be reading a "chapter book" called Summer with Elisa by Johanna Hurwitz.
"Elisa is in grade one and has just finished school. Her brother is 11 and is going to camp. Her mother says she is going to write him letters while he is at camp. Elisa wants her mother to write her letters but she is at home so her mom says when she is older she can go to camp and receive letters BUT she doesn't want to go away from home." Stay tuned for further updates on this book.
Mac is reading Big Nate Strikes Again by Lincoln Pierce. He read the first Big Nate and loved it.
"Nate is in grade six. His guidance counsellor puts baby pictures of her students up on the bulletin board. Nate thinks that one of the baby pictures of a girl is the girl that he really likes. In fact, he says she is the "best looking baby by far". He makes a mistake and it turns out that it is his arch-nemesis, Gina. She thinks she is the greatest girl in the world. She gets straight As every year. Nate thinks Gina is annoying and irritating. A lot of the book is comics and I like that."
We are off to read The Dump Man's Treasure by Lynn Plourde.
Happy Reading.

Come on. Please tell us what the Big Rothesay Read book is for this year. I just finished reading The Kite Runner and am anxious to start a new book. I know it is only a few more days until the reveal but you've got me so curious. You're REREADING the book? Interesting. My guess is that you're not going to tell me so we'll see you on the 16th to find out!
