At our lunch we chatted about favorite books, least favorite books and waxed nostalgic about nominees from years' past (at least last year's nominees -- which seems like oh so long ago!) We also chatted about strategies the boys use to be able to complete all 10 books. Strategies include: listen to some in the car, read the books you think will be bad first, and just keep going and hope the book gets better.
Boys will read and they are thoughtful and insightful in their reading. They will even read "girl books". I think too often we are selling our boys short. Way to go boys!!
