Easter

2023 Books

Here are the books I read in the first three months of the year: 

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain - listened to the audiobook with the boys.

Thursday’s Child by Victoria Poole - had to Google it to remember, but this was about a teenager who needed a heart transplant. 

Random Winds by Gelva Plain - Another from one from Grandmother’s Reader’s Digest Condensed Books. 

Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery - listened to the audiobook with Eleonora, delightful as always. 

At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon - decided to read the series again even though I think I just did in 2022 - delightful!

A Light in the Window by Jan Karon. 

Out to Canaan by Jan Karon. 

A New Song by Jan Karon. 

Amanda Miranda by Richard Peck - saw Caleb taking the AR test, was intrigued and decided to give it a read. He’s to 10 million words for this school year. Woot. 

The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger - skippable. No wonder I’m re-reading Mitford. These other books I keep trying are not the best. 

Roanoke The Lost Colony - Spoiler alert - things do not end well for these people. 

Efrén Divided - a fellow ESL teacher got this to read with her students, so Caleb and I borrowed it and read it first. 

A Common Life by Jan Karon 

Okay, folks, I only have two recommendations for you out of my January-March reading and you probably already know them - read the Anne series and the Mitford series today!  (Beyond that, I’m needing some good recommendations myself.)

Let me go ahead and tell you the first book I’ve finished in April. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. I read it to the boys and I thought that it would NEVER end!  We watched the first half of the movie a couple of weeks ago and surprisingly the boys are asking to watch the second half.
