Library Summer Reading

I love going to the library.  I don't think that was a secret or anything I just needed you to know.  I especially love the summer reading programs for ALL ages.  Since last year I took on that huge project for The Great American Read and did a fair amount of reading (12 books) but didn't put a conscious effort into participating in the library programs.  Oh, sure I put my tickets in every time I read a book but I didn't go to any events and my kids barely read at all.  I would like to change that this year.  I am going to take lots of picture, of course, and see if I can read 20 books by the end of summer.  I am basically going to have to read a book every 2 or 3 days.  The theme this year is A Universe of Stories- I believe it is in honor of the 50 year anniversary of the moon landing.  So there is a lot of planet and space type stuff around our library.  They even put up a summer reading photo type both.

I have finished 2 books for my Bingo sheet- "Read a nonfiction book" and "Read a book based on a movie"

Both these books were audio books and I thought they were good.  Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children has made curious about the movie because I think the visuals would be fun.  The characters weren't as likeable as I thought they could have been but entertaining overall   American Moonshot was mostly about JFK and race to the moon.  It was a little too political and anticlimactic but it was quick listen and informative.

Our library is also doing a little extra thing where you can search for orbs on the library grounds outside.  The week dad and sisters were gone on a missions trip we searched for 3 days and Lucy found 2!

I have a HUGE stack waiting for me so I better get going.  But I will show you what I have in the works.  It will be a fun mystery and challenge to see what I can get finished!  I am also hoping to update you on what my kiddos are up to but that is for another post.
