It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

This fabulous weekly recap is hosted by Shelia of One Persons Journey Through a World of Books and the kidlit version is hosted by Jen from Teach Mentor Texts. Each week we recap what we’ve read and look at what’s coming up this week. If you’re interested head over to Shelia’s site as well as Jen’s and get involved! It’s a blast and I may even stop by to see what you’re up to!

Here’s what we’ve been up to this week:

This week has been something else. Earlier in the week I broke a tooth and needed a root canal which made for a very grumpy mom for the better part of the latter half of the week. Otherwise, I did end up reading quite a bit during that time which was nice, but I’m definitely looking forward to a more healthy happy week this coming week.

One really fun thing that happened this week was that the Turkeybird started writing his own picture books! I couldn’t be more proud and I can’t wait to see what he does in the future! Here’s a peek at his beginnings (remember he’s only five!):
