Week in Review - and Read-a-thon Recap

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


      

Good morning. I hope you’ve had a nice week. I ran a 5K on Saturday along with my husband and son. That was a lot of fun and a great accomplishment for all of us! My body is aching a bit, but it was worth it! My son beat us both but I was happy with my time of 35:00. It was a very hilly course and I hadn’t really trained for it, so I thought I did pretty well for myself.

As far as reading and blogging go, I didn’t actually publish anything last week. I spent my time reading instead. I was doing the very casual Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon hosted by Michelle at Seasons of Reading.

I read my book club’s May book, The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean. Then I picked up  Eyes Closed Tight by Peter Leonard. I made it through about half of that one. So I didn’t get a ton of reading done, but I find that if I join these read-a-thons, I am motivated to read more often than usual. And that’s all that matters!

I haven’t shared what my kids are reading lately. My son, C, has been reading Minecrafter 2.0 Advanced: The Unofficial Guide to Minecraft & Other Building Games. He’s been playing Minecraft since it was still in beta version back in 2011. Some of the things he’s doing with it now are amazing. This summer, he’ll be attending a week-long camp to learn Java programming by creating a Minecraft mod. Pretty cool!

M has been reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. I’m not totally thrilled with my 7 year old daughter reading this, but she really wanted to, so I let her. She seems to be liking it!

What are you reading this week? It’s Monday! is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, so hop over there if you’d like to see what others are reading too. You can also check out the younger version of It’s Monday!
