What I Read in March

 

First, grown-up reads...

📖 Bible study: Finished Proverbs... My Bible study has gotten even slower with Baby on board! 

📖 M is for Mama (Christian, nonfiction)... Overall wonderful and inspiring, but of course with a few things I didn't totally agree with. (As always 😉)  

📖 Take a Chance on Me (Christian, fiction)... This was book one of the Christiansen Family series and I was such a fan! I very much look forward to the next one, but I loved these first characters so much that I will be curious to see if I'm still interested once I get into book 2 and have to start fresh with Darek's sister. 

📖 Plus the designated chapters of my ongoing baby reads this year, What to Expect: The First Year // The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding // The Wonder Weeks

And for my kids' shelves... 

 📖 According to Aggie (secular, lower middle grade, fiction, graphic novel)... This is a good look at friendship and what it can look like for a friendship to fade away.

📖 Breadcrumbs (secular, upper middle grade, fiction, fantasy)... This was one I just couldn't put down, but it was a bit disturbing at times so I won't be handing it to my younger middle grade readers just yet.

📖 Breakthrough (secular, upper middle grade, nonfiction)... This is a short, fascinating look at the beginning of heart surgery for blue babies and has an interesting race/segregation component that'll make for an awesome Black History Month read.

📖 Fantasy Mapping series (secular, nonfiction, art/drawing)... This series is just a set of drawing books specific to fantasy world maps and does a great job teaching some art concepts.

📖 Henry, Like Always (secular, chapter book, fiction)... This is a short, simple read about Henry and his struggle with change due to Autism.

📖 The Pilgrims of Plimoth (secular, historical fiction)... I liked this one just fine.

📖 Return to Gone-Away (secular, middle grade, fiction)... Not as good as the first in my humble opinion but I did like it and will pass it on to my kids.

📖 Robinson Crusoe, Classic Starts adaptation (secular, middle grade, fiction, classic)... Fine to pass along but didn't interest me.

📖 The Vikings (secular, upper middle grade, historical fiction)... This was in a box of books given to me by someone who used Beautiful Feet Books in her kids' homeschool. I enjoyed it and know my oldest will, too!

📖 What Was the Hindenburg (secular, middle grade, nonfiction, history)... Informative, interesting, fine to pass along to my kids. *Not all books in this series have been okay with me!*

Picture books we enjoyed this month: The Bear Report // Cubs in the Tub // Honeybee // I'm Going to Have a Good Day // Narwhal: Unicorn of the Arctic // A Pigeon in Paris // A World of Praise // You Are Not Sleepy
