The Book I Read for Me

I read books 23 through 34 of the Magic Tree House series:

23. Twister on Tuesday
24. Earthquake in the Early Morning
25. Stage Fright on a Summer Night
26. Good Morning, Gorillas
27. Thanksgiving on Thursday
28. High Tide in Hawaii
29. A Big Day for Baseball
30. Hurricane Heroes in Texas
31. Warriors in Winter
32. To the Future, Ben Franklin!
33. Narwhal on a Sunny Night
34. Late Lunch with Llamas

I also read Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That’ll Improve and/or Ruin Everything by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith. Kelly and Zach (or maybe just Zach?) are the authors of the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comics. Soonish in particular was published back in 2017. Being published eight years ago, some of the predictions are a bit dated. It’s a book, however, that could enjoy a second (or even multiple!) editions over the years.

Finally, I read Curly Girl: The Handbook by by Lorraine Massey and Michele Bender. I have curly hair, and so does my daughter, so I wanted to learn a bit more how to maintain curly hair. The book itself, despite its name, is not specific to women’s hair. The tone - especially with the intended audience - is, however, aimed at women (hence the title). That said, it does have a chapter about men’s hair.
