I'm at 24% of the way through King's Crown by Victoria Aveyard and decided to take a break and switch back to another audiobook that I started this past week, "Slasher Girls & Monster Boys" series selected by April Genevieve Tucholke. I'm going to listen to at least two more stories on this one before working on something else. I'm 30 minutes out from finishing the second short story.
Finished this....The Heart of Betrayal
And now started this (book 3 in the series)....
The Beauty of Darkness
Four hours later I'm finally getting back to the reading. I get to read with my 6yr old for a bit. We'll be reading some Mo Willems and P.D. Eastman. Then maybe I can get back to Gone with the Wind.
just coming back to Where Have All the Fascists Gone? after a break for some fiction. This book is heavy, but valuable for understanding some of what is happening in Europe today.
I am currently reading Rivers of London (although I might fire up an audiobook for hanging out on social media).The Spouse is reading The City & the City
The kids are in bed with their reading lamps on reading Northern Lights and Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman
