Weekly Reads: 01- May 29- June 4

I have been reading a lot, so this is going to be long. 

Last Week I finished: 

• The Last Fifth Grade of Emerson Elementary by Laura Shovan - This was a cute book I received for review ages ago, but never got around to reading. I enjoyed it and thought it was ideal for a book of "pretend" fifth-grade poems. 
• The Heirs by Susan Rieger - this one was a review copy sent to me by Crown Publishing. I thought it was somewhere around 4.5 stars, to be honest. It was an interesting book about an upper-crust Manhattan family coming undone after the death of their patriarch. (check out my full review) 

I am currently taking a class on Shakespeare, so we read two of his plays: 

• Julius Caeser by William Shakespeare - I enjoyed this one, all though it wasn't my favorite and I kind of hated all the characters. 
• Othello by William Shakespeare - This is my all time favorite play of his, although I have only read 13 so far. I read two different copies of this one, so I could compare and contrast it. I thought that it was an interesting commentary on race and love. Desdemona is one of my favorite female characters Shakespeare has developed. 

I finished the audiobook of Tuesdays at the Castle, by Jessica Day George - this was a cute enough middle-grade story with loads of adventure!
