I am currently reading The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien aloud with my 6 year old son. We have just reached the Desolation of Smaug, and are nearly finished with the book. I am thoroughly enjoying watching him experience Tolkien for the first time, and am so happy to see how much he’s interested in it!

In my own reading, I am currently finishing up Slewfoot; a dark-fantasy novel about a witch and her demon companion, set in a Puritan colony in 1666 New England. I don’t usually enjoy fantasy novels this much, but I absolutely LOVE Slewfoot!

UPDATE: I finished Slewfoot, and I was obsessed. Such a good blend of fantasy and horror. I loved it so much. If you’ve read it, I must know!

I just started East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Surprisingly, I’ve never read it before– so, I’m very excited to see what it’s all about. It’s been quite a while since I’ve read any literary classics.  Does anyone have any juicy opinions?
