Books I Gave Up On (1) - The boys and I started reading the co-op book selection, but found it very boring. The writing wasn’t great and I was very not engaged with the story, so we gave up and moved one.

Books Bought/Received (4)

From BOTM, I grabbed three books. They were too good to pass up!

• Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

• The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton

• A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

I also took the boys to the library book sale and grabbed a few selections for me (along with many homeschool curriculum books). The only one that was actually a book for me to read was Strange Harvests by Edward Posnett
