Another great story finished...
and the next ready to start.
We finished Winter Holiday today, one of the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome. When we had 3 chapters to go, I had the kids get the table cleared up and ready for dinner while I read one chapter. (That was about 2 hours ago and it's a mess again with new library books and E's craft projects.) After that chapter we ran to the library so avoid overdue fines, pick up some holds, and check to see if Coot Club, the next in the series, was on the shelf. It was! We raced home and read the last 2 chapters. Aahhh... what a satisfying ending. Tomorrow we will start Coot Club.
We were checking out the Arthur Ransome site to see if our favorite characters would appear in all the books. We noticed that one book takes place on Skye in the Outer Hebrides. We all screamed when I read that! About a year ago we were traveling in the UK and stayed on Skye. But we will read the books in order, so it'll be a while before we get to that one.
