Monday Malarkey


Recent arrivals:


  • Glimmer Train, Winter 2017, Issue 98 - purchased, yet surprised to see this arrive so quickly, since I just got my first issue from the subscription, last week.
  • Your Alien Returns by Tammi Sauer and Goro Fujita - from Sterling Children's Books for review
  • News of the World by Paulette Jiles - from HarperCollins for review


Books finished since last Malarkey:


  • The Paris Review, Issue 218 - I gave this 3 stars and considered knocking it down to 2 at Goodreads. There were a few stories and poems that I loved but there was a lot of material I considered substandard or just flat boring.
  • News of the World by Paulette Jiles - Called to me from the moment it walked in the door and I'm glad. I absolutely loved this book. Hope to review it very soon.
  • Your Alien Returns by Tammi Sauer and Goro Fujita - As always with children's books, I read this the moment it walked in the door. Loved it. The aliens are so stinking cute!


Currently reading:


  • Leveling the Playing Field by Rod Scher - Planning to focus on finishing this one, next.
  • I Can't Begin to Tell You by Elizabeth Buchan - A WWII novel.

    1. Yes, I've already read two out of three and loved them both! The zoo is awesome. We just have a small zoo but we love it.

    1. Thanks, Kelly! I've enjoyed the two I've read. Need to get started on that little stack of Glimmer Train periodicals.
