Book Worms

     I am raising 3 book worms and as a result we read countless stories a day.  I started off reading to them probably before they were born and haven't stopped since.  Honestly they can't get enough, which is great and it has really paid off for the oldest 2 so far.  Ella, in grade one can read anything put in front of her (it isn't so great when she can read over my shoulders and read what she shouldn't) and Camden already has an amazing grasp on early literacy skills...Harmony still likes to chew on books but we are working on that.   They come by it honestly...I devour books and will read everything and anything.  In the past few weeks I haven't read as much as I usually do because the librarys wait lists have seemed unusually long.  I generally average 3 books a week, unless we are super busy or the books are incredibly long.

I have read in the last few weeks:

The Hunger Games Trilogy - The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay
Room
The Night Circus
The Help No Water for Elephants
The Help
Also 5 or 6 free books on my Kobo App but none of them were note worthy and now I know why they were free.

I am looking for some new reading material, any must reads out there? Also, the kids are starved for some new books to check out or maybe Mommy is...There is only so many times you can read the same old books which I have commited to memory and so have the kids. So please post some suggestions for me or the kids.  Please we are begging you!

  1. I'm currently reading A Walk Across the Sun and it's fantastic. Definitely worth requesting from the library!

    Also, if you liked Hunger Games, I just read Divergent which was similar and a good read.

  2. My boys both disappear frequently to read... Quite often under the bed or in the closet so it's more like the stories... They love the magic tree house series...
    Camden and Ella would also benefit from raz-kids... It's an online literacy resource alot of the schools are using... Just google it... Westley luvs it and asked several times
    A night to get on but is only allowed one time every few days unless he reads acctual books...
    I luv everything too... I'm on all the wait Lists too.. I've recently found an old
    Love in a new form... A recycling of sorts... On my commute to and from work.. Hamilton... I'm listening to the Anne of green gables series... Really enjoyable... Good luck loosing yourself in whatever great story you find next!

    1. Ella is a Raz Kids Fanatic. Camden is still too little to enjoy it. I am not sure I could listen to stories...I prefer reading but then again I dont commute and if I did I am sure I would change my mind.

  3. I don't think our Library has Divergent...I looked it up and couldnt find it but I was in a rush so maybe I spelled it wrong but will check again.
