This is for the week of August 29th-September 4th. I read 9 books which brings my 2021 total to 260 books read. These books totaled 2,603 pages. You might be wondering how I can read so much in a weeks time. The answer to that is that I always have a book with me. I carry my kindle with at times and during periods at work I am able to read. I also listen to audio books as I work around the house, getting ready for work and as I run errands. Now onto the books that I read.

I gave this young adult book 3.5 stars. At the beginning of the book I was not liking the main character girl. She was annoying and snotty. The book picked up and I ended up liking it.

This books talks about that project.

A Season of Gifts By: Richard Peck
I gave this middle-grade book 4 stars. This is the last book in a trilogy. To be honest it is a companion book. This book is about a new family who just moves to a small town. They have problems getting to know the residents and feeling welcomed. Their neighbor helps them and good things start to happen.
