Book bonanza!

Posted on January 8, 2017 Leave a Comment

Here are the books my boys got for Christmas, from us, family members, and Santa (still! With the biggest winks and nods yet!). And yes, they did get gifts other than books as well. 🙂

We’ve not read all these books yet, but when we have, I’ll post my/our reviews. Until then, caveat emptor!

My 12-year old:


Born a Crime – Trevor Noah

March (Trilogy Slipcover) – John Lewis et al

The Secret Keepers – Trenton Lee Stewart

Yuge – 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump – G.B. Trudeau

 
 
 
 
As for my 9-year old:


The Inquisitors Tale – Adam Gidwitz

The Last Kids on Earth – Max Brallier

Where the Sea Turns to Silver – Grace Lin

Where the Sidewalk Ends – Shel Silverstein

Book Bonanza 2

Give me Smore: a science magazine for girls (and boys)
