My New Obsession

The is the first book in a series about The Borgia family.  The Borgia's ruled Italy in the late 1400's.  The family is known for their ruthlessness in acquiring status and power within Italy.  It's crime, intrigue and Italy, what more would I want?  I'm working my way through this, so far it's really good!  

I forgot one...

of Hannah's library books.  I felt I should add it, since this one seems to be her favorite.

What we're reading

Since we're finally making the library a regular event, I thought I'd start posting the books that Hannah picks out.  I let her pick out her own books.  I check them to make sure she's not getting something beyond her level; a mini novel or something of that sort.  Before school, we were making it once a week.  Now it's every two weeks.  Here's what she picked out last time we went.  

This one is really cute, I like it.  

This last one I haven't read yet.  It's on tomorrow's agenda for me, since we're headed back to the library on Saturday.  

Our Bedtime Battle

is not the norm.  Hannah goes to bed like a champ, promptly at 730, on most nights.  She doesn't put up a big fight.  We have a nice routine, she brushes her teeth, then we change her and then David and I read 1 to 2 stories before tucking her in.  Recently, a small battle over bedtime has begun.  And it is over how many books Hannah may take to bed with her.  If Hannah had it her way, she take so many books into bed that there wouldn't be any room left for her.  This is so that Hannah may read them after we leave the room, which she does.  Sometimes David and I hear her reading to herself an hour after we've tucked her in!  So we've limited her to three, which she sometimes doesn't want to do.  And that, is our bedtime battle.
