With the kids, finished Caddie Woodlawn. Thinking about starting Anne of Green Gables, not sure yet.
I finished Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict. Wasn’t that impressed with it. I liked Austenland much better. Currently reading Calling Romeo which isn’t an Austen-inspired book (although it is similar to Bridget Jones’ Diary or the Sophie Kinsella books — Brit Chick Lit) and it’s not a one day wonder . . . So now I have to think of a new category designation.
We were noticing Calvin’s freckles from all the time he spends playing outside and Josh said, “I used to have freckles like that . . .” Calvin asked, “What happened? Did they pop off?”

One day wonders — books I finish in 1 day (that don’t fit in other categories.
