This Weeks Books (for a few weeks)

For the week ending 3/19/17

So I could say I didn't finish any books this week, but I did.  I listened to a really corny Hallmark romance that I found on Hoopla.  I listened to it as I walked to school or work or as I ran errands.   I did read a bit of some other things, but nothing else got finished.  (So I fessed up and this weeks picture will be non-existent as you don't need to know the title of the book ;-))

For the week ending 3/12/17


The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater.  
It is the last book in the Raven Cycle series.  It tied everything up.  It was a little darker than the other books and it was good.  I don' think it fits into any of the book challenge categories.  I did listen to this as I drove or walked.  

A Big Dose of Lucy by Marthe Joceyln.  
The protagonist is a 16 year old mixed-race orphan in Canada during the 1960s.  It is a story of gumption and courage.  It turns out it is something I had on one of my many book lists.  It also fits the all points-of-view characters are people of color as the whole thing is told from her point of view.   I enjoyed it.  There was a moment i put it down for almost a week as I thought something bad was about to happen and I didn't want to read it.  I had to remind my self it was a book for kids so what i thought might happen, probably wasn't going to - I picked it up again, and i was right - it didn't happen.  #readharder

March 12th was book club - I didn't finish the book in time and it is good (it is still not done- darn school).  

For the week ending 3/5/17

Alas, no books were finished the week ending March 5th.  Books were read, but none were finished.
