such a great read aloud for an elementary class as well. The bad: i didn’t want it to be over! i feel like they could have written a matilda 2…just saying! i hadn’t read it since i was a child, but re-reading it as an adult, i was absolutely smitten! it is just the cutest story and i felt a serious book-loving connection to matilda! i also LOVED the ending. glad i read it but i wanted more than i got. but i guess i didn’t feel like it lived up to the hype. it was on book list after book list and i guess it just left me wanting more. The bad: there was SO MUCH hype around this book. i really loved parts of this book and had so much hope going into it. i felt like i could really visualize the whole thing. the writing painted such a clear picture. the characters developed really well and the relationships were super interesting. The good: i loooooved the characters in this story. the slow start was a bit of a turn off at first but was worth sticking around for. there was something loveable about the characters in the story – maybe because you feel bad for them…but it made me want to read more! The good: this book was really funny at times and although things could have been perceived as a bit far-fetched, i liked the story and the way that it played out. Where’d you go, bernadette? by maria semple this winter/spring i took the last of my librarianship courses and so i guess i was just distracted by that and didn’t have a lot of time for reading (or blogging!) clearly! HAHA! i’m also trying out a new format for my book posts…the good, the bad, & the rating (out of 5 stars) to keep things simple and consistent! alright, enough of that…here’s what i’ve been reading over the past few months: First of all, we are going to go ahead and ignore the fact that i’ve been MIA for months and just jump back into things! secondly, i’m going to jam a few months of books into this post, BUT the good (or bad) news is that i haven’t read much so it shouldn’t take that long.
