With a couple of exceptions, I took a little detour from reading adult fiction this month and turned to picture books. I savored the simplicity of these sweet kids’ stories where every word truly does count.

Tina’s Reading List
My trip to Japan was divine, but my reading time definitely suffered. No better excuse to read less than to be visiting an interesting country and catching up with my son! I got a fair amount of work done on my Japan book while I was in the zone, so I can’t complain.
