Surprisingly, it hasn't been much of a book week for us. Ah, I know--it's because the big kids started camp on Monday! They are off swimming, playing, creating, singing, and otherwise enjoying themselves at the JCC for most of the day. We also just instituted a "one book each" rule at bedtime, hoping to slim our evening ritual down to a half hour or so rather than... who knows how long it was stretching these past few weeks. So our reading time has been reduced by quite a bit.
However, Matea has managed to find time to ask for her (Disney) Princess books. I bought a set of 12 hardcover books a the grocery store about one year ago, and they already have had a lifetime of use. Especially Cinderella. We have read it so many times that Matea can recite the entire thing, word for word, as you turn the pages. She also can recite it when the book is completely out of sight!
I missed my last book club meeting, but should be finished with Great House by Nicole Krauss any night now. One oddity about reading on a Kindle is that it's hard to sense how far into a book you are at any given moment--no thickness to feel between your fingers, and gauge how many pages are left after the bookmark. I haven't been reading much lately, but hope to spend a bit more time lazing on the couch soon.
