I thought nobody was reading my More Books Mondays posts! : ) I'm glad you and your children have enjoyed the Whelan book. Have you read Hattie Big Sky? If not, it's a must read. It's by Kirby Larson. I am hosting an interview with her later in February (Feb. 27, I believe). The book was a Newbery Award winner back a few years ago. You can read my review of it here-->http://hopeistheword.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/book-review-hattie-big-sky-by-kirby-larson/
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to read a few lighter things (maybe some YA Or JF stuff) in March after I (hopefully) finish Les Miserables, and of course, I will review what I read! ; )
Thanks again for posting!
