Did not finish

Got this book through a bookbub promotion and barely started reading yet. It didn’t instantly draw me in so I’ve gotten distracted reading other books.

Placed on the back burner. Read several chapters and it hasn’t grabbed my attention. I’m either not quite old enough or not familiar enough with the obscure references.

Started rereading. Originally read it 5 years ago. I’ve read several books in the Redwall series and decided to read more. I’m rereading book 1 to refamiliarize myself with the setting and author’s voice.

I have gotten 2/3 of the way through this and I am going to set it aside for a bit. It is a detailed account of Charles Darwin’s time on the Beagle and is interspersed with excerpts from his, and captain FitzRoy’s, journals and logs. I had hoped it would include more information about interactions between Darwin and the Feugian, Jemmy Button, but apparently they had little interaction.

Abandoned. I like Sharon Creech novels but this free verse book didn't grab me. Maybe some other time.

I just finished Nest. Well written, but very sad.? Grade 8-12 not K-5

I just finished The Witch of Blackbird Pond.

I just finished The Sign of the Beaver.
