These are the books I read this month:
Are My Kids on Track by Goff, Thomas, and Trevathan-- See my review here.
What We Read With The Kids:
On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder-- We are book #4 of the Little House series and the kids are soaking it up. Especially my 5 year old; he loves them!
Our suggested reading for May was Atlas Girl by Emily T. Wierenga-- This book was so good. Memoir written in rich language, Wierenga explores a life marred with imperfect people, an eating disorder, and trying to make sense of a loving God in an unlovable world. Leaving home at a young age, Wierenga finds the love her life, but learns that battling her demons will follow her. And when her mother is diagnosed with brain cancer and she's needed at home, those demons continue to follow along. Written in a nonlinear, quirky, thought provoking way, Atlas Girl discovers that sometimes the last place you want to be is the place that will heal you. Meant to be read slowly and savored, Atlas Girl is a great book for gaining deep perspective.
