Hello lovelies!

I meant to write this post yesterday, but then I went to my work's Christmas party and my night went delightfully downhill from there.

Anyway! I love reading Anna Reads' week in review posts, so I thought other people might like to read mine--guess we'll see!

This week I did some Christmas shopping! Just have a few people left to gather gifts for. I also wrapped most of the gifts I had lying about my house which was nice -- made me feel like I had my life in some semblance of order. I've watched a wonderful amount of Christmas movies: The Holiday, Elf, The Holiday again, A Muppet's Christmas Carol and A Christmas Story! I love Christmas movies so much!

I had a little too much fun at my work's Christmas party, but I have almost recovered 24 hours later.

I finished The Kill Order by James Dashner with a review coming soon!

I got my ARC of Unhinged (The sequel to Splintered which I will be reading soon!) by A. G. Howard. It's delightful! And it came with two pins! "Team" pins which I'm not a huge fan of, but I do love that I can add them to my apron at work!

Anyway, I don't have any photo evidence of my week, but trust me it's been a good one.

What's your week been like? Has it been as exciting as mine?

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5
