glacier_kittyA book you have always avoided reading: Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (Jul 30-Aug 10). Phew, that was a long one. It was interesting, sometimes tedious..I don't regret reading it, but I was glad when I finally finished it haha
Hans the Eskimo: His Story of Arctic Adventure with Kane, Hayes, and Hall by Edwin Gile Rich (Aug 11-12). You know you're starving when you have to eat your boots D:
The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman (Aug 13-18). Best one in the series! Emotional, but funny too. The new one (The Impossible Fortune) is coming out on the 23rd, yay!!
Blood Lure by Nevada Barr (Aug 19-25). Anna Pigeon really needs a job where she isn't getting hurt/shot at/stalked by animals, etc haha. This one took place in Glacier National Park, yay! I loved all the literary references too ("lead on, Macduff!")
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown (Aug 27-28). The movie was great, so I had to read the book too! Such a lovely story with great illustrations!
The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown (Aug 28-30). Not quiiite as good as the first one, but still pretty good. I love Brightbill and Roz! <3
That was a fast summer, and stressful with work moving too. There's lots of yellow leaves on the trees now!
Earlier Curti went upstairs, set a toy down by mom's door, and waited until she came out. OMG he is too cute and sweet for words to describe <3
