How's Your Summer Reading?

Sorry it's been so quiet around here! I had the best intentions of posting regular reviews. Alas, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry...
Let's see if I can turn it around for the second half of the summer.

Things have been busy here at school. Camp is in full-swing. While songs and games, art, movie-making, and cooking swirl around me, I spend most of my time cleaning up the catalog and organizing our books and library materials, to get everything ready for September. [But don't you think about September yet!]
Outside of school, I've been enjoying the sun, playing toss with my cat, catching up on movies, sewing a bit, visiting friends, and reading as much as I can.

I've recently read Millicent Min: Girl Genius, Ivy and Bean, and The Wednesday Wars.
Stay tuned for reviews!

What has everyone else been reading?

According to some parents and students I've seen on the street, Babymouse is a popular choice this summer (understandably!), and some you are learning how to tie knots and hunt rabbit, with the Dangerous Book for Boys. I haven't had a chance to look at the Dangerous Book yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
