The kids and I are participating in our library’s summer reading program, Get Lost in a Book. The program started today and goes until July 22. The kids are to read (or be read to) two hours per week. For the adults, we need to read five books. We’ve been provided with log books as well. (We’re also logging in our hours and books over at Scholastic’s Summer Reading Buzz.)

The kids will get weekly prizes and a free swim party at the rec center for meeting their reading goals. The adults get a travel coffee mug and a chance to win gift certificates and other prizes if we meet our goals.

Today’s book was Usborne’s Aesop’s Fables I would read the story aloud, then Nathan would finish up by reading the moral of the story (the last paragraph). Nathan said he enjoyed the story and thanked me afterwards. I’m not so sure how much Lucie enjoyed it, since she spent most our story (half) hour climbing up and down the coach, but she thanked me too.

Me? Well, I’m indulging in a little scifi, Anne McCaffrey’s Acorna: The Unicorn Girl. I haven’t decided yet if I like it or not since it’s a bit on the silly side, but I’m hoping it gets better.
