"Nothing. I just wanted to be sure of you."
My spring reading list got off to a slow start as I cut back reading while I moved and packed. The last few days of May I started to reread a bunch of my favourite kid's books as well as the Doctor Who 50th collection of short stories. With summer arriving, I felt in the mood for some really fun, easy stories - that and I'd been wanting to read some of the 50th stories so was pleased to find the whole collection at the library here.
Nearly all the books have been reviewed on my blog, except for the American Girl ones which I won't be reviewing and a couple others I haven't gotten to yet but will either this week or next.
Brothers-in-ArmsI read this one twice. I was editing it, I'm still editing it. If neighbors happen to see it fly from a window in the near future I will make no apologies but will follow it by my scream of agony.
Code Name Verity
I listened to the audio book while my computer was being doctored. The ending, still in pain. So much pain. But I loved it.
The Book Thief
Another audio book. I didn't listen to the end because I refuse to believe that ending happened. But I loved the rest of it.
Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends
A Band of Brothers book. Wild Bill was insane. I loved him
How A Star Falls
An adorable romance.
The Battle of Castle Nebula
Science fiction, amazing characters. It was painful and I wasn't expecting that but I enjoyed it in spite of that.
Diary of a Teenage Superhero
This one was okay. Not one of my favourites but I didn't hate it either. Not sure I will finish the series though
Voices of the Pacific
True stories from Marines who fought in the Pacific in WWII. There were times it was hard to read but I nevertheless loved the book because of the men I had the chance to learn more about
Freedom Flyers
Because it was about the Tuskegee Airmen I liked it, I just wished it wasn't written like a school report
When the Sergeant Came Marching Home
A WWII story about two boys adjusting to having their dad back home from the war. It was adorable, and even better because it's a true story
My Friend's Book
Not sure how much I can say about this since it isn't out yet, but I edited it and enjoyed it
Watership Down
LOVED SO MUCH!
Finding the Magic
My coming soon Beauty and the Beast retelling. I read it twice during edits.
Land of Black Gold
Tintin. Because I love reading the comics over and over and over and this is one of my favourites
Iron Scouts of the Confederacy
This book is the reason my middle name is Lewis.
Prince Caspian
I listened to the audio book. Well, I guess the radio dramas, but I adore these adaptions
Dealing with Dragons
I didn't think I'd like this book. Not my favourite but I did enjoy it
Call of Duty
BUCK COMPTON FROM BAND OF BROTHERS. This man....
Unbroken
I listened to the audio book. Thought I should take a break since I've read it twice since December....by break I mean listening to it rather than rerereading it. I'll be rerereading it again soon though, never fear
Annabeth's War
A good friend of mine wrote this book and I've rather fallen in love with Randsom
The Black Island
My top favourite Tintin story. SCOTLAND! KILTS! PLANES!
The Horse and his Boy
Another audio drama. I listened to a lot of books this spring to help me fall asleep
A Book I Edited
Another I can say little about but enjoyed
Parachute Infantry
Best to read the review I wrote on this one. I can't really sum it up
The Monuments Men
I LOVED this book WAY more than I thought I would and I went in to it expecting to love it a lot. The ending really got me
Woven
This was a typical fantasy but somehow it worked so much better than the overused plot should have worked
The next few are the adorable Beatrix Potter stories I read. I won't sum them up, but I loved them all. Mixed with them are the Doctor Who stories written in honor of the 50th Anniversary. I won't be summing them up either, but I liked every one of them
The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan
The Tale of Peter Rabbit
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
The Tale of Benjamin Bunny
Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Audio Drama
Winnie-the-Pooh
Because this book.......everyone needs to read it
The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher
A Big Hand for the Doctor
The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit
The Story of Miss Moppet
The Nameless City
Meet Kit
I've been wanting to read all the American Girl books. I wasn't sure about the newer girls, I've read all the older ones growing up. Kit's book I did enjoy
Beyond Band of Brothers
Major Winters from the 101st Airborne. This is his first hand account of his time in WWII
The Tale of Tom Kitten
Meet Caroline
I ended up liking Kit's more, but I didn't hate this one
Meet Marie-Grace
I didn't enjoy this much. It was okay, but I think I've come to expect more from the American Girl stories. This seemed to be lacking a lot and while I plan to finish this series, I'm not looking forward to it as much as I am the other girls' books
The Spear of Destiny
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck
The Roots of Evil
Tip of the Tongue
Something Borrowed
The Ripple Effect
Spore
The Beast of Babylon
The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage
Nothing O'Clock
Lights Out
The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies
The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes
The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse
The House at Pooh Corner
I love Winnie the Pooh, but I love this book a bit more. The ending still makes me sad, but I adore the stories in this book.
A Bear Called Paddington
I really want a Paddington living in the apartment with me
Now I'm off to bed
Quote is from Winnie-the-Pooh. Piglet talking to Pooh.
ALLONS-Y!
