Son #1: (Age 10)
- He is on the last book in The Inheritance Cycle Series by Christopher Palolini and is still enjoying them. I am looking forward to seeing what he picks up next as he has been reading this series for two months now!
Daughter: (age 8)
-
She just finishsed the last Harry Potter book! This girl was on a mission to finish the series and is understandably quite proud of herself. Bonus for the rest of the family - we got to watch the last four movies over the past month!
- There's a Girl in the Boy's Bathroom by Louis Sachar. I got this book at a yard sale and didn't realize she had been reading it up in her room. She is almost done and last night I asked if it was a funny book. She turned it over so I could see the cover (and title) and said "What do you think?" So yes, she thinks it is pretty funny.
- Not sure what the next book she picks up will be... I am trying to talk her into the Fablehaven series. Shhh... I bought the paperback set on sale this weekend for under $18 and will give it to both kids, probably from the cat!
Mom: (not revealing
my age!)
-
Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven) by Brandon Mull. I read the first book in this series a couple months ago and wasn't planning on reading more. Not because I didn't enjoy the book but because I'm trying to diversify my reading. But I was in Barnes and Noble and picked up book #2 and wanted to keep reading. These books are fun adventures!
- The Popularity Papers by Amy Ignatow. This book is on the list for the Sasquatch Award in Washington state and my daughter got it at the school book fair, so of course I had to read it first. VERY quick read (about 2 hours for me) but it was fun! The book is done entirely in colored pencil drawings and handwriting, alternating between the two main characters like they are writing notes back and forth to each other. One handwriting is in cursive so it might be a little hard for a younger reader to get through it if he/she is not used to that type of font.
