"Here for a Good Time" by Kim Spencer
Now reading. It's just kicked off and is really good, but I have to mark some middle school persuasive writing, which is not nearly so good. How do you get kids to understand that writing is a hard skill, that needs to be practiced? #BookSky #CurrentlyReading #writing #NowReading #KidLit

It’s a fantastic book.
I have that one cued up for an upcoming trip to Portugal.

I liked it a lot. It was nicely written.
I just started it — I have high hopes though!

Now reading. A classic I’ve somehow never read! #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #Books #KidLit #ChildrensLiterature

Now reading. Taking a break from the Canada Reads shortlist — waiting for the fifth book to come in to my local bookstore. #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #Books

This book was so good! I loved it.

Now reading. Book 3 of the CBC Canada Reads shortlist.

I’m so sorry…. For the grief and the diarrhea.
