I am combining two great weekly blog hops: Stacking The Shelves by Team Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post by Caffeinated Reviewer. I hope to read as many of the blogs from these two hops as possible because I love to see what everyone is reading!

Happenings:
This week, we took a very quick trip across the country to see our sweet kid in Providence, Rhode Island. Her professor put some of her work in the Triennial show for their department, and we wanted to support her!
While it did not snow, it was really cold! The temperature was mostly in the 20's (Fahrenheit), and we did a lot of walking around those hills. But it was so worth it.
We got to see my daughter working on a project, loving the moment it all came together to look like what she envisioned. The class theme is Monsters...
We also helped her move this giant sculpture from the dorm workroom to the classroom (several blocks away). While decidedly NOT fun, I was happy to assist.
The next day was her show. It was so fun to see, not only her work, but those of many of her friends.
She also got to get a glimpse of what her professors might assign next semester!
We had to leave the next day, but I loved that we got to spend this time with our kid.
Reading:
With all that travel time, I read two books and enjoyed them both very much.
New Books:
Library:
I'm currently reading Almost American Girl, by Robin Ha.
This is a graphic novel by an alum of RISD (where my daughter goes to school). It is quite emotional, and I am loving it.
I am happy to be back in sunny California! Stay warm and I hope you read something wonderful this week!
OOh nice! I really enjoyed All the Stars and Teeth! I hope you will too! And the rest of your new to me new reads! ;)

ReplyDeleteI think All The Stars and Teeth looks good- love that cover!
I am very interested to read An Almost American Girl. I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteMonsters is a wonderful theme for a sculpture or art class - I love it! Looks like your daughter is quite talented and loves what she's doing. I've been trying to read a few more graphic novels. Maybe I'll check out An Almost American Girl. Thanks - have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice time visiting your daughter. I'm sure she had a ball seeing the exhibit, and what her peers designed for the Monsters theme. Welcome back to sunny CA! You're just in time for some warmth before the cold temperatures return.
ReplyDeleteAlmost American Girl sounds interesting! I'll have to check if my library has a copy. Looks like you had a fun trip visiting your daughter, I'm sure she was thrilled that you were there to help out and support.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you got to spend time with, and support, your daughter.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
I was just about to ask if your kiddo went to RISD, and there the answer was at the end. What fun that you got to spend that time together, quality memory-making!
