A Bluestocking Knits

Booking Through Thursday writes, "We’re just wrapping up the third week of January. Wow. Already. Time to check in with your reading report" —

1. Have you finished any books yet? Aaugh, progress reports already??  Why, yes … yes I have!
2. If you have, how many, what were they, how did you like them?  Dozens!  Here’s a few — Alice the Fairy and A Bad Case of Stripes, both by David Shannon (as usual, mixed feelings about David Shannon, Stripes is mildly amusing, I don’t like Alice, girls love them both); Marjorie Priceman’s How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, Mary Jane and Herm Auch’s The Princess and the Pizza, Lynley Dodd’s Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy, Edward Ardizzone’s Ship’s Cook Ginger, all old favorites; Uncle Jed’s Barber Shop, which Julia chose at the library (an unusual choice, I thought, for a 3 1/2-year-old, but certainly there is always time for lessons in tolerance, generosity, and persistence, and this is a good one); and the girls’ current obsession, Fancy Nancy by Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser.
3. If not, why not? Are you currently reading anything that you just haven’t finished yet? Er, don’t look at my sidebar….
