I have read 33 books this year. The Month of June, I made a pile of slips of paper, wrote a book title on each one, put them in a tin jar, and started letting the grandson choose which book I should read next. I started this right after finishing Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson.

I had gotten so many great new books, from book club, books that I had bought and books which have been on my shelves for a long time. I was having a hard time deciding which one to read next. Letting grandson choose -proved to be just what I needed. For sure the book he chose, was not what I would’ve chosen. Most of what he chose had been sitting on my shelf for a long time.

The first book he chose was Oryx & Crake – Book 1 of the MaddAddam Trilogy by ; Margaret Atwood – the same author of The HandMaids Tale – Good choice. Why had I left this sitting on my shelf for so long?

The second book was Lost by Gregory McGuire. He is also the author of Wicked and Son of a Witch. It was better than I thought. It was a long book. I guess that is why I left it on my shelf for so long. Way to pick books that I probably wouldn’t have picked.

Third book was The Thirteenth Child… by Erin A. Craig. My first long book with almost 500 pages. 494 pages. Which was probably why I hadn’t read it yet. It turned out to be a good book..

Well that takes us through the month of June. Tomorrow’s blog will be the books he chose for me to read in July. I didn’t get a lot read…but I feel like I have had more quality books to read.

If you see a book you would like me to leave a review on – leave me a comment…

Onward then

Happy reading

Positively, Abosolutely, Debbie
