More Reading!

It is summer and reading is in full swing :-)

The Compound by S. A. Bodeen...is another Texas Lone Star selection which the kids ought to be reading when school starts again. I am not too happy about the list this year...don't like this book too much. But then if you like Science Fiction, you probably will like this one. Maybe I just don't like Science Fiction!

the dead & the gone: a novel by Susan Beth Pfeffer, hah that's the same genre, so here we go it's a bit better then the other book, but still not what I like for summer reading, and some kids might not get into it as they are just not muture enough. Oh, well, don't need a sequel to this one either (it doesn't help that Dan and I started watching a movie going right along this book -Impact, which will conclude tomorrow evening.

And Jason wanted me to read a book he likes Storm Front: book one of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, does Jason know I don't care about vampire books. Well, I read it and will be reading the next one also (well, I'll listen to it on CD as he gave that to me also). Actually the book is about Harry a wizzard and detective who gets to work with the police on paranormal murders.

Oh, my, I almost forgot about this Texas Lone Star book I have read: 

Gym Candy by Carl Deuker hmm, what to say. He writes books about sports and this one is just like it. Love football, love the book...well...anyways, the book is about this boy who's father didn't make it big in football because he wasn't doing what he should have done, hides all he's done from his son and is treating his son to become a big football star. With all the pressure he succumbs to the 'gym candy', so there's the message!

Okay, that's all I have read this week, reading a book at work, listening to a book during workouts, and am starting a new book now (then I'll also start listening to Jason's CD in the car...I'll be having 4 books going at once...might have to change the one I am going to read as it looks as though I have picked another SciFi one :-()
