It's Summer!



I hope everyone is having a great summer! I've been away from the computer and lost in the pages of several great books. i just finished How to Steal a Dog by Barbara O'Connor. I liked the ending. I loved here other book Fame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia even more. I also read The Silver Donkey by Sonya Harnett. This book just feel good to hold and read... It has 4 stories within the story that a soldier shares with 3 kids who find and help him. Donkey's have quite interesting stories of honesty, friendship and loyalty.... One of my favorite thing to do over the summer is to ride my rode bike and listen to books... Warning, If you see me riding, I sometimes slow down at really good parts of a book I'm listening too. I just completed the trilogy of Bartimeous by Jonathan Stroud.
Whoa, If you like fantasy, adventure with a dash of mystery, check this out at the library. Move over Harry Potter, there is another magician roaming the streets of London and he's got a Genie at his side. Lots of fun! This week I'm reading Framed by Frank Cottrell Boyce, and Things Hoped For by Andrew Clements. Speaking of which... His new book No Talking and Dogku both come out this month! Watch for them at the library... Other booknotes for the American Girl Fans.. Yes there is going to be a new American Girl this Fall from the 1970's. Her name is Julie and her stories are written by Megan MacDonald who writes the Judy Moody series.
Well, What are you reading?
Happy Reading Everyone!
