This week I was very strapped for reading time, but I was able to squeeze in a little bit of reading to my girls. With this morning's chapter, I barely squeeked out my 90 minutes. With finals in all of my classes the next two weeks, I have a feeling that my reading time will be equally difficult to find. We have been reading The Headless Cupid by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. This is a book that my fourth grade teacher read to my class and I have always loved it. My children are enjoying it as well. It deals with a mixed family that moves in to an old house with a reputation for being haunted. Mysterious things happen, but some are suspect as Amanda, the one "new" sibling, and her interest in the occult often seem suspicious. It's really a tale about fitting in, creating new family and children dealing with the hurt of divorce and distant parents. But it's all told in a great narrative fashion and my kids are staying equally engaged in it, as I did when I was a kid.
