What I’ve Read – May 2021

Jun 1, 2021 | What I've Read

May was another quiet month for reading.

I read two more Clive books, Clive is a Nurse and Clive is a Teacher. These were great books, showing Clive and his friends caring for patients and teaching students. It’s great to see boys in roles that are less traditional ones, showing that boys can be nurses and teachers too.

I also read Song Bird: Drought Rescue by Karen Tyrell. This is the latest in the Song Bird series, and I really enjoyed this adventure.

As well as finishing these books, I made progress on Thadities and the Clan by Carolyn Wyrsch.

I hope you were able to get some reading done during May.
