ziasudraBooks:
1.
Book rec, for those of you who like Young Adult books: Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, by Chris Crutcher.
My group of kiddies have been reading this book for a few weeks now, and each time I read with them (no more than a chapter at a time), I'm amazed at the delicate craftsmanship of Crutcher's language. Very simple, with quite a bit of sarcastic wit, and filled with depth that makes a YA prose poignant.
FYI, Chris Crutcher is also the author of Whale Talk and Running Loose.
2.
Or if you want a mindless but fun book, go try The Adventures of Captain Underpants, by Dav Pilkey.
I've read the beginning portion of this book four or five times already—it's such a popular choice for read-alongs among the students. Pilkey's humor is awesome, adding substance to an otherwise haha book. And who wouldn't love a superhero baby dressed in underpants? *g*
Food:
I was craving cream puffs today, but stopped myself from getting any at the local Beard Papa's. It turned out to be a good idea.
When I got home, there was a box of 90 mini cream puffs in my fridge! Well, what's left of the 90. They were leftovers from what my roommate had bought earlier for her SG. The SG met, ate, and left the entire box of the 20 or so remaining cream puffs to us.
I ended up eating three mini cream puffs. Yum ^_^
