But the mornings are generally nice, here. I need to get better about scheduling the hardest part of my yard work before it gets hot. Unfortunately, I've been too exhausted to wake up and get out there by 6am or 7am (when it's plenty light for me to work if I will just do it). My, you've read some really wonderful books this week, Cheriee! Wow. Both Wish and The Hunting Accident are new to me. I was sitting here thinking, 'well, it's too bad we don't have a great selection of graphic novels or I would go check out The Hunting Accident.' But would you know, I just looked it up and it's actually available in our tri-college system. So I'm adding this one to my list right away. Thanks for all these great reviews!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-22835609316949770542019-07-08T14:13:15.842-07:002019-07-08T14:13:15.842-07:00So many wonderful books in your post this week.

I read the first Charlie & Mouse book and thought it was really cute. I haven't read #2 or #3 in the series, but I'm sure I would enjoy those as well. I still haven't read The Benefits of Being an Octopus, but I know lots of folks have enjoyed it.

I still haven't read A Good Kind of Trouble though it's on my list. So many books to read & enjoy! I hope you like Coyote Sunrise, a favorite this year! And I laughed about the sewing room. I do that too with some things, just close the door!

I thought Braeden presented poverty in a way that all kids could understand what it was like for Zoey and maybe be more empathic towards others they may know in their lives. I just got A Good Kind of Trouble and am looking forward to reading it. Thanks for sharing your reading with us. I am very curious about DreadfulWater Shows Up. I have never heard of it before. I have to check it out.Randomly Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041218984035157545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-55122354599023217572019-07-08T00:20:03.863-07:002019-07-08T00:20:03.863-07:00I really enjoyed reading your post!

Charlie and Mouse is a tough sell for me with kids as there are a lot of words per page, but it has some appeal for picture book readers. Also, when reading Octopus, I felt that anxiety for Zoey. I felt the same way when reading No Fixed Address, a book on my post for this week, which I think I remember seeing on your blog ages ago.<br />I enjoyed reading about the rest of your books too, in particular learning that Thomas King has mysteries under another name.
