A new week, a new batch of books—both finished and being read. Today is…
Ring-the-Bell Monday & It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

{Celebrating the books we’ve read in the past week & the titles we are currently reading.}
I’m very impressed with how closely this graphic novel follows the Newbery-winning book:
This was a solid retelling, with thoughtful illustrations and interpretations of what L’Engle must have been thinking when she wrote the book. This is not a simple, easy read. It is thought-provoking and deep. ENJOY!

This came highly recommended, and I found it when I was scanning the library’s ebooks. It reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory… but in a library. There were so many puns and fun with books and literacy, all while the contestants tried to decode clues and—yes—escape from the awesome library.

This is two prequel short stories to the Legend trilogy. Sweet.
I’ve never read Big Nate and I saw this in the library’s ebook section. I’m trying not to laugh… but it’s tough.
I’ve listened to a bunch of this on audio, but now I’m going to be having weekly discussions on the chapters with others on Facebook. Should be interesting.
Excited about this one after the trailer, reading reviews and hearing recommendations.
Thanks,

I finished Kingdom Keepers #4 and have just started #5. This one is going to take place on the Disney Magic. My honeymoon was 4 days in Disney World and 3 days on the Disney Magic so I’m very excited to see how the book plays out on the ship 🙂
It sounds like you’re addicted to the series. That’s a good sign.
Now you have me thinking about taking a vacation…
I love everything Disney so the books are fun. I can visualize a lot of the settings for the books, and they bring up old, happy memories.
I’m reading Matched and it’s a great book
I just can’t put it down!
Hurray for captivating books!
I am just finishing up “Stone Kiss” by Faye Kellerman. She and her husband both write fantastic detective novels.
Do they write any together? That would be tough, but fun.
I’m reading Second Honeymoon by James Patterson. If you like mysteries this book is so good I can’t put it down. It follows 2 serial killers. Excellent read.
Enjoy Every Day- special… Still touched by it… Agreed, A Wrinkle in Time was a fantastic retelling… Happy reading to you…
