It’s time for our April book club selections! After writing my post about favorite children’s books I decided to include one this month. I may even include a children’s book every month. It’s always fun to revisit old favorites or check out something we might have missed. I no longer have kids around to read to so maybe this will be my excuse to indulge in some “kidlit”.

LWD April Book Club Selections
Summer in Tuscany by Elizabeth Adler
I picked this up at our library book sale yesterday and decided to include it this month. We are going on vacation next week and I wanted an inexpensive paperback to take along to read. I paid 50 cents at the book sale so I don’t have to worry about any mishaps while traveling. In fact, I may leave it behind for someone else to enjoy.
Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned While Living in Paris by Jennifer L. Scott
I have had this in my Amazon wishlist for AGES and finally ordered it the other day. I love Jennifer’s blog, The Daily Connoisseur, and I just know I’m going to enjoy this one.
Heidi by Johanna Spyri
According to the comments I received on my favorite children’s books, I’m not the only one who loved this one. I can’t recall the last time I read it so it’s due for another visit.
Judging from all the comments I received, I do believe my readers are readers. 😉 Because of that I just know some of you will want to know what I picked up at the library book sale. This is by far the fewest books I’ve ever purchased at one of these sales. I’m trying to be more selective these days. I only spent $4!
Savannah Blues by Mary Kay Andrews
Crescent by Diana Abu-Jaber
Summer in Tuscany by Elizabeth Adler
The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

April 2, 2016 at 4:39 pmOur library has a lot of the audiobooks in the series and I’ve looked at them numerous times. For some weird reason they don’t seem to have the first one, though. When I saw this I decided I’d read it and then I can work through the rest of the series via audiobook. I love listening to something like that when I’m driving.

April 2, 2016 at 2:41 amNot a bad haul for only a few dollars.
You don’t need an excuse to read kids books. I do it all the time. OK, I sort of do have an excuse, since I also write them, and need to read those by other authors in order to know what’s already been done; it’s sort of market research. But I’d probably read them even if I wasn’t writing books for children… Same goes for watching cartoons! 😉
Re-reading Heidi is a good call! I’d join you in doing so, but my copy is among those boxes of things we need to sort shelves for before we can unpack them, and I won’t be able to get at it in time. I hope you enjoy your Heidi re-read though… Not that I have any doubts that you will.
I also hope you enjoy your other reads.

April 2, 2016 at 4:37 pmYou’re right. There’s no shame in reading a good children’s book. 🙂
