Books

I'm grateful for good books. After finishing my math endorsement in June, I finally had time to sit and read books I WANTED to read, instead of math research books. :) I went home in July and my family got me hooked on a series that I just finished last week. They are the prequels to Peter Pan and I really enjoyed them!
The first one is
Then
After that,
And finally,
I recommend these books to anyone who likes a fun, exciting read. Also, they are great because the chapters are super short, so if you don't have a lot of time, you can read a chapter or two fairly quickly. I've thought about reading the first one to my 2nd graders in the random 5 minutes we sometimes find we have throughout the day. But they are kind of intense and scary at parts so I'm not sure if I will...
After I finished those books, I picked up this one!
And I finished it in one day. Granted, it was a 4 hour drive from the beach to the airport, then waiting for my flight, then flying from NC to UT. So I had lots of time to read and just couldn't put it down! Now I'm 8th on the list at the library for the sequel. :)
After I finished The Hunger Games during my layover in Minneapolis, I picked up this book to get me ready for school to begin.
Gotta love brushing up on my love and logic skills that keep me sane throughout the school year! :)
Any other must-read book recommendations?? I still have a week and a half or so of summer left to get some more reading in!!

  1. Darn it, I didn't check your blog until now so you are definitely busy with school, but when you have a break you should read "The Help." It is all about the civil rights movement in 1963 down in Jackson, Mississippi. It is SO good. I definitely recommend it. So maybe over Thanksgiving break you should pick it up :)
