And, I reread all but one of the books that I reviewed (The Explorers, which was a first-time read).

This was definitely a fun reading week.

I removed The Women in the Castle from my current reads temporarily because I had some other books that required priority, but I've only read a single chapter so it's not an abandonment so much as a setting aside.



In other news:

In case you missed my announcement, last week, it's probably pretty obvious from the sheer quantity of cute titles that last week I dedicated my posts to reviews of children's books. You know what that means? It means I granted myself permission to sit around reading and writing about children's books, all week. Bliss! I love children's books! It also means I'm totally out of children's books on my TBR stacks. There's good and bad to that, of course. I'm closing in on being "caught up" on reviews, which is a bit like catching up on laundry: it never lasts long. On the huge plus side, if there's ever a backlog, the reading must be going well. At any rate, it was a great reading and blogging week. Hope yours was, as well. Happy reading!
