I've been trying to do more reading. More importantly, trying to read deeply and critically. Books hold information. Books teach us things. Books are meant to be shared, discussed, debated. In 2018 I decided to share and write about the books I'm reading...

Harry Potter

No, I have not read any of the Harry Potter books up to this point (and haven't seen the movies). Blasphemy, I know. I finally wanted to learn what all the fuss was about (plus my almost 5 year old has already been hearing a little about Harry Potter in school), so I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I even watched the movie after!

I enjoyed this children's book, it's a nice coming of age story. It reminded me a little of Matilda. Now I can't say I fully get all the fanfare, but I'm sure I have to read the rest of the books (and maybe I will). I do like to sprinkle in some youth/YA books when I read, so this was enjoyable for me to finally check this book off my list after many years of watching people go crazy over Harry Potter. I'm sure I'll be reading them with my kids once they get a bit older. 

As usual, you must read the book before watching the movie! No excuses, don't take literacy for granted and READ!

A Wrinkle In Time

I couldn't help but read A Wrinkle in Time after reading Wonder last month. 

​I don't remember reading this when I was in school and the movie just came out so I wanted to read it before I watched it. (Um, Oprah's in it, why wouldn't you go watch it?)

Definitely a classic, quick and fun read about an underdog protagonist who travels through time to save her Dad.
