It is a new month and I'm reading for three reasons: Nonfiction November; Novellas in November; and NaNoWriMo inspiration (children's books, as that's what I am attempting to write this month).
What's the best book I read last week?
Wed Wabbit.
I wan across Wed Wabbit...that is, I ran across Wed Wabbit at the ongoing library sale at the Galveston library, and when I saw it had been nominated for a Carnegie Award, I couldn't resist picking it up and reading it. Wed Wabbit is for anybody who is a fan of The Phantom Tollbooth. It would make a great read-aloud, I think.
What I Read Last Week:
Wed Wabbit by Lissa Evans (Children's fiction)
Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms by Lissa Evans (Children's fiction)
The Wishing Game by Meg Schaffer (Adult fiction)
Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First: Ten Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level by Laura Tremaine (Nonfiction November)
The Way of the Heart: The Spirituality of the Desert Fathers and Mothers by Henri J.M. Nouwen

What I'm Reading Now:
A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf (Novellas in November)
The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy (Novellas in November)
