Yawwwwwwn. Good morning, y’all. How were your weekends? Ours was fun, and busy celebrating the turn of the seasons – about which, more next week. But it’s possible that the most exciting part of the weekend was the newest addition to Peanut’s library – wait for it – an early reader, much-abridged version of Anne of Green Gables. We’ve been reading it all weekend, and Steve now has a basic introduction to the story that was, no big deal, but just the formative literary experience of my childhood, whatever. I think I might convince him to read Anne. (And then it’s only a short step to the rest of the Anne books, and then the Emily books, and then Jane and the Story Girl, and I’m not plotting at all.)
It’s been a slow week for reading. I’m making my way through The Queen of the Night, which is sumptuous and fantastic, but is taking a little while to get through. Of course, because nothing can be simple, I’ve got two more new books out from the library – What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, and The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, and naturally they’re both due back on the same day, which also happens to be the day The Queen of the Night is due back, too. I don’t think I can renew any of them, nor do I think I can finish all three in time to avoid overdue fees. And then I’m still nibbling away at The Enchanted April (and really enjoying it) on iBooks.
On the blog this week – my March pick for Diverse KidLit on Wednesday, and a Black Friday hike on Friday. Check back!
What are you reading this week, my friends?

Love that grin, and that Peanut is being introduced to Anne!
I’m reading June by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore (so good) and finally digging into A Discovery of Witches. Also, it’s snowing here, so it might be time for my annual Jane of Lantern Hill reread.
I’m anxious to hear what you think of A Discovery of Witches! I expect you’ll like the Oxford parts, but I did my fair share of eye-rolling throughout the romance. Not that I can cast aspersions, though, because I did go on to read the second and third in the trilogy – ha!
