What We Read in May

We're still behind, but we did a little better this month!

Katie:

• Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
• Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
• The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul by Douglas Adams
• Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
• The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

I enjoyed all my books this month. Douglas Adams is always good fun. I plan to read the final book in the Dirk Gently series in June. I'm also hoping to read the second Ransom Riggs book soon - I'm just waiting to get it from the library.

Sarah:

• Hamlet by William Shakespeare
• Runaway Ralph by Beverly Cleary
• Othello by William Shakespeare
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
• Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit
• The Year of Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill

I enjoyed both of the Shakespeare tragedies very much. Othello is now in my top three favorites. Tuck Everlasting was also a very good read. I particularly liked Natalie Babbit's descriptive writing style. I am currently reading Around the World in 80 Days.

During the month of June, we plan to put out bonus posts going into more detail on some of the books we've read so far this year.
