Book #194: The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher

Image
  [Book Title] [Author]   Released: November 22nd, 2016 My 60th book for 2026 was Carrie Fisher’s The Princess Diarist.   60 books for the year.  This matches my goal for 2025.  10 more, and I'll not only have a new record, but a new goal achieved (even if the last few were relatively smaller scale children's books). I found this book about a decade ago inside 2nd & Charles in Hagerstown, MD.  I've been meaning to read it for a long time now.  I got it for Christmas a few years back, and carried it through several moves before digging it out and getting the opportunity to read it now.

  Super Why: Super Readers To The Rescue Salina Yoon   Released: March 4th, 2010 My 59th book for 2026 was Salina Yoon’s Super Why: Super Readers To The Rescue.   I was working the other day, and one of my individuals has noticed that I enjoy reading.  He has started to ask me to read to him.  We read several of the other Fly Guy books a little while ago.  He found some books based on his favorite TV show and had me read them to him.  As a result, I added them to the reading list.  After all, it's a book, and if it encourages a younger reader to check it out, or even their parent reading this to get it for them, then it's worth it. This book is an introduction to the Super Why! show.  It covers all the main characters, what their superpowers are, and what they are capable of.  It's great for those new to the show and trying to figure out who each character is and what they do. Here is what I learned : ————— Super Why has the Power ...
