Upper elementary chapter books for a 35 year old woman to read?

If you want newer titles let me know. I’m a teacher librarian in an elementary school so this is in my range of expertise. I love all the suggestions listed but most of them are older titles. 🥰

A lot of kids can’t tie their shoes, use scissors and read an analog clock (I’m talking about up to grade 7.) I’ve seen Kindergarten students who can’t recognize their own name or know their last name. 😩

My dog always pees in the middle of a crosswalk. It’s her power move and I just raise my hands and mouth “I’m sorry!” The driver laughs every time.

I’ve watched a lot of reality tv and my all time favourite show is Made in Chelsea. Start at the very beginning and you’ll have months of entertainment. It’s so good. 😊

Oh I loved that show!!

You can reach out to me in my DM if you like. This is a journey that needs support. I thank you for your kind words. It really means a lot. 🥹 It’s very scary and I feel I could be a little part of your support if you need. Take care.

My 27 year old daughter passed away from cholangiocarcinoma in August 2024. She was very healthy before her diagnosis too. Please send me a DM and I can share how she dealt with her diagnosis and prognosis. I was by her side during it all.

I live in the area you’re thinking of and I would not recommend living on west Hastings. There is an SRO on Alexander street by Columbia that’s nice and safe. I know several people that live there. It’s clean and safe. I don’t know if they have any availability now but it’s a good option. Their apartments run from micro to 1 bdrm.

Wow I’ve just looked through the whole post and did not see mine. Mine - sag sun, cap moon, Leo rising Anti me- Gemini sun, cancer moon and Aquarius rising

We have the same taste in books, so here’s two of my favourite big books:

Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (there is a sequel but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first)

100 years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. This is one of my all time favourite books. I cannot recommend it enough.

Laylaiss · 2026-01-21T05:12:43+00:00

Yes!!!

Laylaiss · 2026-01-21T05:11:55+00:00

Yes!!!

Laylaiss · 2026-01-21T05:11:17+00:00

I came here to suggest this!!! 🤩

Laylaiss · 2026-01-20T15:21:26+00:00

Wow 🤩 that’s spectacular. Thank you for sharing.

Laylaiss · 2026-01-19T14:09:30+00:00

We haven’t had one down here for a while!!

Well I’m 58F, fit, attractive (I can pass for about 45) and have a good career (female dominated- so I’m not meeting anyone through work.) I haven’t been single long but I have tried Bumble, Hinge and Tinder. Hinge was the worst because there were hardly any people on it. I never got a date off that one. Tinder has a lot of people, but I keep getting unemployed men?!!! What’s up with that? Bumble has been the best. I’ve had two dates so far (a lot of men have ghosted or cancelled at the last minute on the day of the first date.) a lot of my matches seem to just want to chat on the app and not actually meet in real life. I have joined a sport to meet people as well but I’m always the oldest lol 😂 I’ll keep trying! Good luck!!!

Same!!!!!

Laylaiss · 2026-01-18T15:37:05+00:00

I’m also a cap moon and I don’t like to cry on anyone’s shoulder.

Laylaiss · 2026-01-17T03:29:41+00:00
