Summer Reading

Grandma and me enjoying milk shakes at the Poway Public Library.

The first place grandma took me when we got to San Diego was the Poway Public Library where I signed up for the summer reading program called “Pause to Read”.   My goal was to read 10 books!

But when we got home from the library my Dad found a summer reading assignment from school in my bag.  So I had to read those too — and do book reports!

All together I borrowed 12 books and read 11.  There were days when I read two books in one day and other days when I read one book in a day.  Then there were days when I found the book I was reading really boring and didn’t read much at all.  I listed them below numbered from most to least favorite:
