What I’ve Read – October 2021

Nov 1, 2021 | What I've Read

October was a quiet month for reading, partly because I dropped my bundle a bit between health issues and dealing with what I call ‘yo-yo’ lockdowns (in for a couple of weeks, and out for a couple of weeks before going back in again).

I finished reading Sass and Traz Save the Library by Michelle Worthington and listening to The Adventures of Alfie Onion by Vivian French. These are both chapter books that were a lot of fun.

I was also able to read a couple of picture books that I received as free Kindle downloads – Dinosaurs in the Hardware Store and Where Would Santa Go? both by Julia Inserro. I prefer reading picture books as print books rather than ebooks, but I really enjoyed both of these.

As well as kids books, I started reading The Five Year Plan by Jodi Gibson. I’m nearly finished, just not quite in time to be a finished book for October. This has been a fun read.
