Library Love [2]

Library Love is something I started back in October of 2018, but failed to keep up with! I'm going to try and be better when it comes to this feature, since the library is where we get most of our books. It's pretty self-explanatory, but this post (and others like it) will be used to highlight and showcase which books we get from the library every 2-3 weeks. Our holds technically allow us to keep them for 21 days, but we usually finish them before then. If you want to see the original post, you can find it here, or you can click the Library Love tab at the top of the page.

Definitely need to take more than one bag next time...

I told the kids they could each get five books, and then three were mine! That's still 18 books, haha. Not bad for a single trip to the library. ;)

Our son had to stop going to piano lessons when the pandemic hit, and we haven't heard anything about them reopening. He's too young to do the online lessons, and had trouble following along with the instructor. We've been trying to help him at home (more Jacob than me, since I'm not musically inclined), and I thought this Play It! book by Jennifer Kemmeter looked fun.

Black Brother, Black Brother by Jewell Parker Rhodes is another one of my choices! I've heard it's really good, and couldn't resist when I saw it sitting on the shelf. It'll be one I read with our son, but Jacob has to finish their current Goosebumps book! The kid is obsessed with R.L. Stine.

Our son has also grown as a reader over the last few weeks, so he was looking for books that he'd be able to read on his own (for the most part). The girls just picked whatever looked interesting to them, I guess! I honestly had no idea Born Curious by Martha Freeman and Katy Wu (Illustrator) was in the bag until we checked out, but it looks amazing!

Pluto Gets the Call by Adam Rex and Laurie Keller (Illustrator) was a fun story about Pluto getting a phone call from Earth's scientists informing him that he was no longer considered a planet. Does anyone else remember memorizing the acronym My Very Excited Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas?

I'm really looking forward to reading these with my monsters! I'm so happy the library has reopened, and that they are taking precautions to keep people safe. My kids were thrilled when I told them where we were going!

Lair of Dreams (The Diviners, #2) by Libba Bray 🎧

The Light at the Bottom of the World (Light the Abyss, #1) by London Shah 🎧

I'm really enjoying Lair of Dreams and just hope I can finish it before my hold expires... again. The Light at the Bottom of the World is interesting, but the world-building isn't always clear.

What have you been reading? Made any trips to the library? We spent a good 15 minutes wiping all of our books down when we got home.
