This Book!

Do you remember summer reading books in school? Were you one of those kids that chose the most interesting book to read? Or the shortest? I was one of the ones that chose the shortest possible book... because I didn't like any of them... ever. I need to be entertained to want to read and those books were not entertaining to teenage me, at all. 

So I find myself feeling a little deja vu-ish when our second grade curriculum calls for me to read aloud to Gwen one chapter a day out of The Red Sails to Capri by Ann Weil. It is not entertaining for me, at all. I am bored out of my mind! He said this and she said that and talk, talk, talk! Gwen likes it well enough, but it's a little too complicated for her to read to herself :-(

It's not like it's a long book either! It's only 156 pages and only 10 chapters so it shouldn't have taken us more then 2 weeks... but this is week 4 and we are still halfway through chapter nine. I am such a procrastinator. I don't like that I draw things out like this and I definitely do not want to pass this habit on to her, but whenever we are crunched for time guess what gets skipped. The Red Sails to Capri.

What am I going to do with myself?
