2026-27 Elementary School Battle of the Books selection

Selection for April by the library book club. Should be interesting...the reviews are all over the map on this one. We'll see if I can get through it.

Yep, gave up on the 2025-26 lists. Improved from last year as I only lacked 6 books total vs 10 titles unread.

Giving the 2nd book in the series a try. Not sure I'll stick with it, and yes, can already tell that I'll most likely be ready to suspend major disbelief again. But still...I did fly through the first one. Who know?!

Got it for Hubs, who said it was really good. Need something that might be fun and make me laugh.

Definitely into this one!

I can't wait for the Olympics to be over! Because they've been on for almost 3 weeks now, my husband has already plowed through 27 books to my mere 12. Sigh. To be retired and a person of leisure...someday, someday.

Definitely giving Web MD a run for the money! No, seriously, I like her explanations, very easy to understand. And love that she injects some humor into this book as well. Would be very depressing and scary if she didn't.

One of "my" books for this year's library book club. Think this meeting is in May? Can't remember...trying to read ahead.

Hubs already read this, said it was really good. I'm trying to read ahead for the book club meetings that I'll be leading. This is one of "my" meetings.

This one is...yeah. It's gonna be a hard read. The MC has a major eating disorder, a mom who's dying, and lots of other drama. And an irritating obsession with saying "hella" before lots of comments/thoughts.
