February Reading Wrap-Up . Mixed some light reads

February Reading Wrap-Up
.
Mixed some light reads with more serious content last month. Read aloud the 3 kids chapter books and reread the @emerylord novel in print. Listened to the others as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. My top read was Know My Name by @chanelmillerknowmyname. Well-crafted, read by the author, and powerful beyond measure, Chanel processes her experiences seeking justice and healing after being brutally sexually assaulted at Standford in early 2015. The narrative is extremely timely and challenges the various systems that prevent victims of sexual assault from receiving the care and legal justice they need and seek. I highly recommend this book! .

Happy International Book Giving Day!
As I've stated before, though I rarely buy books (because I'm a library superuser), I strongly believe books can make excellent gifts, especially for children. We gifted this adorable rhyming book to our littles for Valentine's day and #bookgivingday!

Blanket + Book = Bliss
It's a snow day for Lumiere and Chip! They are busy building with Knex while I finish my latest read on the couch with a cozy blanket.

January Reading Wrap-Up
.
Read aloud 3 kids chapter books (my littles aren't old enough for Harry Potter yet). Listened to the others as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. Though they were very different, I enjoyed unique aspects of each. @jacobtobia challenged my perceptions of gender and conformity and also had me in giggles (definitely listen to this one to hearing their words in their voice enhances the quality of their writing)! @TomHanks narrates his collection of short stories, all featuring an antique typewriter (he's a collector). @MaryBethKeane's character development is superb! @fredrikbackman balances the hilarity and heartfelt emotion of parenthood, making in my top pick in a tight race. And Harry Potter was a reread of a favorite, with the incomparable Jim Dale's narration as rich as I remember. Do you reread books? What was your last reread?

Happy Chinese New Year! My littles and I recently

Happy Chinese New Year! My littles and I recently attended a thorough and informative cultural program at our local library to welcome the year of the rat! The kids learned about Chinese customs and celebrations before crafting firework displays, dragon masks, and lanterns. They also received lessons on how to use chopsticks and practiced the new skill. Finally, they learned about which animals represent the years they were born and received ornate red envelopes with (chocolate) coins from the librarian! We all learned so much! Gong hei fat choi!

I just finished listening to Ask Again, Yes (via the #Libbyapp), narrated by Molly Pope. @marybethkeane's characters are so authentic (and realistically flawed). I loved following along as they explored complicated concepts of addiction, infidelity, family, mental health, loyalty, and forgiveness.
What did you think of this novel? Which character did you most relate to?

With the help of the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp and my local libraries, I read 57 grown-up books in 2019. I've been reflecting on my reading habits and setting goals for this year. .
