What I'm Reading - September 14, 2020

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't manage to post that often. I aim to post and link about once a month, although I sometimes link up my monthly summary as well. Although I will be busier in the months to come, with teaching at the co-op added to my weekly schedule, I think I will need to be more intentional about reading. I'm teaching a Literature class and obviously I'll need to keep up with the reading I assign to the students!

I finished reading . . . 

The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa - A stray cat becomes loyal friend and traveling companion to Satoru in this wonderful little travelogue novel. (Read my full review HERE)



Well, Girl: An Inside-Out Journey to Wellness by Jami Amerine - an encouraging and humorous book that focuses on the need to get our spiritual selves well and healthy so that we can pursue physical wellness in a God-honoring way.  (Read my full review HERE)



The Seaside Affair by Vicki Hopkins - Siblings Beth and Francis visit the seaside resort where their late mother once lived and find that the town holds many secrets from the past. (Read my full review HERE)




I'm currently reading . . .

Ever Faithful by Karen Barnett - In Yellowstone park during the 1930s, a park ranger's daughter agrees to do some teaching to young men working for the Civilian Conservation Corps. One of the men is Nate Webber from New York City, who was hoping for a second chance for success but is held back because of his trouble reading.




Next on the stack... 

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  
A Stroke of Malice by Anna Lee Huber
When Silence Sings by Sarah Loudin Thomas
Summer of Dreams by Elizabeth Camden

   

    



What I'm Highlighting . . . My friends that read Just A Second are invited to join me at Homeschool Coffee Break for the Twenty-Six Lists link-up. It's every other week and the list prompts are for everyone, not just homeschoolers. Last week I shared about How I Landed My Dream Job as I listed The Jobs I've Had. This week's list will be Simple Pleasures.



On my blogs recently . . . 

Besides the reviews, here on Just A Second you'll find:

    1. Well? I liked the cover more than the actual book. The writing was not the best. :-(
