We have another great group of books to get through this week. Well, one of the books will take us about a month, but the other two we should get through pretty quickly. We love library day at our house, but this week brought a bittersweet moment as we get ready to say goodbye to some of our favorite literary characters.
After Lunch Read Aloud
The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies
I had never heard of this book until I had my "100 Book List". We started this book at the end of last week and we all like it so far. It seems to be a case of sibling rivalry and how an argument can get out of control. I also feel it is a really good lesson on how there is always two sides to every story and how one person perceives a situation may not actually be how the other person intended it to seem. I sure hope this brother and sister can work out their differences, although it is a series, so we may have to keep reading to find out.
Britton- Nighttime Read Aloud
Bunnicula By Deborah & James Howe
This book was recommended to us by friends when we lived in Thailand. My friend's children loved it and talked so highly of it that Lincoln started reading the series last year. He also really enjoyed the whole series, but I had not read them with him. Britton and I were in search of another good series to start after we finished up the Fudge series by Judy Blume and I thought this would be a fun one to start with him. I don't know much about the book except that it is from the perspective of the pets in the house and they are all convinced that the rabbit is a vampire. I am excited to see where this story goes.
Greyson & Lincoln's Nighttime Read Aloud
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
The time has come to start the last book in the HP series and we all have very mixed feeling about it. This series is so time consuming and you honestly start to get swept into their world. We are anxious to see what happens in this book but also sad to know that it is coming to an end. Will we be happy about what happens with all of the characters? I know we were left dumbfounded after the last book. This book will take us a good month to get through, so we will have time to prepare our goodbyes to our favorite characters, but that won't make this goodbye any easier. So, here we go, we are jumping in to see what happens to Harry and his friends.
What are you reading this week? I would love to know any suggestions you think we should add to our list.
