May Book List

This is what happens in a family of readers.

We have piles of books and magazines everywhere. Our bookshelves are stacked three rows of books deep.

We love to read ourselves to sleep and almost always stay up too late each night devouring our books:

We read absolutely everywhere:

Here’s what we’re reading right now.

Our daughter is plowing through the Boxcar Children Mysteries series. She’s read (and reread!) the first thirteen books and now is savoring “Tree House Mystery.” It will probably take her less than a day to read this one. She blows us away with her passion for books and dedication to reading.

The little guy is looking at “Can You See What I See?” (from the used book store), a gift from his big sister. For the most part, he just watches us when we read to him. When you’re eleven weeks old, pictures are blase. Moving mouths, on the other hand, are incredibly fascinating.

I just finished rereading the Twelve Houses series by Sharon Shinn and am toying with the idea of rereading the Artefacts of Power series by Maggie Furey. I have found that I cannot read new books at this stage of life, as I get sucked into these fascinating new worlds and then stay up WAY TOO LATE. New books = time suckage. SIGH. I hope to read new things again soon.

David reads many new books, lucky guy! His most recent read is the latest book in Robin Hobb’s Rain Wilds Chronicles series, Blood of Dragons.

We love our fantasy books. They make for the best escapism.

What are you enjoying reading right now?
