Where Is Your Bookmark? (A Peek Into Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party)

Brr. It is cold outside. There was actually snow on the hill near where I work. The one with the big "M" on it. This area usually does not see snow that low. One weather report said it might actually snow in town. We have certainly had a lot of rain, and now with the freezing temperatures, who knows? It would be a rare treat for Mouse! She's always wishing we could visit the snow.

As for books . . .

Mouse and I make regular visits to the library and one of our most recent library reads together was Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party (#14) by Megan McDonald, illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. We took turns reading  the book to each other this week after work and school.  This is our second Judy Moody book.

A weekly meme where readers share the first sentence of the book they are reading and say what they think. Hosted by the wonderful Gillion Dumas of Rose City Reader.

Judy Moody had been Doctor Judy, M.D. She had been Judy Monarch Moody and Madame M-for-Moody. She had been a Girl Detective and a Mood Martian.She had even gotten a picture of her famous elbow in the newspaper. 

But, she, Judy Moody, had never been a queen.

My thoughts: I have a feeling that is about to change . . . Judy Moody is a very imaginative girl, which is something my little one can definitely relate to.

A weekly meme in which readers share a random sentence or two from page 56 or 56% of the book they are reading. Hosted by the wonderful Freda of Freda's Voice.

Stink stopped digging. He tossed down his shovel. "I'm tired of digging."

"But you hardly--"

I'm going over to Webster's for a thumb-wrestling match."

"Fine," said Judy. "But don't think when you come home all sweaty you're going to swim in my moat!" [pg 56]

My thoughts: Every queen needs a castle with a moat. This is a fun book.


Does this sound like something you would read?

What's your favourite bookish accessory that's NOT a book? (submitted by Angelica @ Paperback Princess)

This is a tough one. Choosing my e-reader probably doesn't count--but technically, it isn't a book--it just holds a lot of books inside. I could talk about my book mark collection. Then there's my husband's suggestion, which would be my "worm" light (a little reading light that hooks to any book I might be reading at night in the dark). He also brought up my cloth book cover with handles that is handy for carrying my physical books around. There's the necklace my husband gave me with a Pride and Prejudice quote on it (“You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”). Oh, and I love my tote with my favorite Jane Eyre quote on it (“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.”). There's my Agatha Christie earrings, which are too heavy for my ears, but I love them anyway. But what of the many afghans and blankets I have lying around the house for cuddling under when I want to curl up somewhere and read? Do those count as bookish accesories--maybe not, but they sure make reading more comfortable! I am afraid I just can't decide! 

What about you?

 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Be sure and tell me what you are reading and are up to!
