What to Read Wednesday: A Bookworm’s Holy Week

Happy Holy Week! Sunday was Palm Sunday; Holy Thursday, Passover, Good Friday, and  Resurrection Sunday are later this week. Accordingly, for this week’s What to Read Wednesday I’m sharing our favorite Easter book, as well as a few random titles we’ve recently completed. Be sure to also check out the most popular post shared last week, below: Fill Your Easter Basket With Books.

Recent Reads:

I finished a Tree Grows in Brooklyn last week and simply adored the turn of the century tale set in immigrant-rich New York. I also muscled through Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (spoiler: she isn’t), which was peculiar and had me questioning my own sanity until the very end.

though I did love this particular excerpt which rings true indeed

We finished Louisa May Alcott’s Little Men aloud, which was precious and inspiring to this weary homeschool mom; then started The Mysterious Benedict Society, which is so far quite fun and reminiscent of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events— which we adore. (Season 2 of the Netflix series kicks off this week, we’ll be watching!)

Factual. Will attempt to restrain myself this week at Ready Player One.

I also just received my much-anticipated pre-order of Sarah Mackenzie’s The Read-Aloud Family in the mail and am pacing myself, lest I devour it like Bruce Bogtrotter does chocolate cake.

Most excitedly, I’m digging into Kristen Welch of We Are THAT Family fame’s latest book, Raising World Changers in a Changing World, as part of her official launch team. Stay tuned for my formal review once I’m through. You’ll recall I also reviewed her last book, Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World.
