After I saw the movie trailer, I noticed I had this book in my classroom. I read it quickly over that last few days. I liked the extra-textual pieces. Characters are smart and intuitive. A thoughtful book. A good read.

I picked up #crowlake on a whim while my students were reading silently. I couldn't put it down. My holiday reading now involves finding all that #marylawson has written. Absolutely beautiful.

It is a fast read. Some of the character's motivations are hard to believe. And having a small baby at home makes it hard to read at times.

Orphan Train: A Novel | Christina Baker Kline

Love it. This is one of those books that makes me unwilling to move on to another novel right away. I can't get my head out of the story. Heart swells for this book.

If a book describes a narrative that bops between a contemporary setting and any other time in history, I'm reading it. #shouldbesleepingbutImreading

I enjoyed reading this novel because each chapter read like a short story. I followed along Addie's life like she was sitting telling me the tale herself.

I was in need of something easy and light. This did the trick. It was a good library pick.

Second Life | S. J. Watson
Panpan

I so wanted to sink into this book. And I tried so many times over the past couple of weeks, but I never got to that unputdownable stage. Finally, I just gave it a go this weekend and it was a big ole "Meh" with a whole lotta "why-didn't-she-just-" moments. Now I need a new mystery to satisfy the craving!

Amy and Isabelle | Elizabeth Strout

This author can write a character into existence: she starts to unravel in your head, and then you see her--walking around outside with you. Spot on. My third Strout book in a row. Can't stop. Now onto updating my neglected Reading Log!

This author grabbed my heart with Lucy Barton...so a quick trip to the library and I'm on my way to reading all of Strout's books. Wine. Cat. Book. Sleeping baby. JOY!

KrisConstantReader Excellent book! I wanted to like Lucy Barton but it just didn't do it for me, but I loved Olive Kitteridge. 8y

This is my favourite book of 2016. Read over two days whenever my busy 8 mo slept...I should be sleeping, but I had to finish this book! And gush about it. Absolutely the best.

Liberty It's my favorite, too. ❤️ 8y
