What ho, intrepid readers! Jessica and I took some time to eat lunch (while still reading, of course), and then spent a perfectly reasonable 45 minutes putting together a sentence for Kate at Midnight Book Girl’s spooky-themed book sentence challenge.
Invisible monsters fake all things bright and beautiful–calling you, tender morsels, if you come softly.
We’ve done a good deal of reading, too. Jessica finished M.T. Anderson’s Thrilling Tales: Whales on Stilts!, read through The Rough-Face Girl, and has read some of Leviathan and Tending the Wild, and I read Volume 1 of Sweet Tooth and bits of The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume One: The Pox Party and Vineland. I hope everyone else’s reading is going well and that you’re not too tired! It’s 2pm here in California, so we still have plenty of daylight to go.
You’ve both been doing really well! My daughter and I are also doing the read-a-thon together. It’s much more fun doing this as a team!
