IMWAYR: Week of Waiting

This is the week of the new grandchild! We are eagerly awaiting the birth and celebration of our grandchild, so I’m sticking with short, fun reads to distract myself. (Check out Mom, a book I received from Tracy at Publisher Spotlight. How did she know?)

Physical Books: Let’s start with the PubSpotlight books! Mom by Margarita Del Mazo and illustrated by Silvia Alvarez is so sweet. The point of view is from the baby, not the mom, so it’s even more endearing than I expected. This title is part of the new series called Family Love, published by Cuento De Luz. It’s a perfect gift for a new mother.

Next I read, The Heart: History, Science, and Lots of Love by Noemi Fabra and translated by Gabriella Aldeman and published by Post Wave. This is a title I’ll display for Nonfiction November in the school library. It’s different than the “human body”/”circulatory system” titles because the content delves into the history of how we discovered facts about the heart in animals and humans. I like the way this book is set up and it will be like an easy-to-read textbook for our middle schoolers.

NetGalley: I’m still reading The Moon Without Stars. I cannot wait to receive the physical copy of this middle-grade book.

Libro.fm: I downloaded The Incredibly Human Henson Blayze by Derrick Barnes (narrated by the author and Miles J. Harvey) and I’m waiting for our long drive to listen to this highly-anticipated title. We love Derrick Barnes! There’s a lot of buzz surrounding this book.
