refugee of deep thought

A pastor at my church asked me what I was reading. I paused because I generally have about five books going at a time. I answered, "Kid Lit."

Then, he repeated, "Kid Lit."

And, I said, "Yep."

I went into this shpiel about they are good, solid stories. There are no high-falutin' gimmicks. These stories have 3-D characters, tight plots and significant themes. Take that, James Joyce and stream of consciousness.

So, here are the books I read this week. I highly recommend them.

The Great Gilly Hopkins

Number the Stars

Pride and Prejudice

wow, for children's books, those are pretty weighty. I must recommend my longtime favorite, Diary of a Wombat. Okay, okay...so it's a picture book, but think of it as a 1000 words per picture.
