Hmmm...what else have I read in the last few weeks?

Just finished Girlfriend Material by Melissa Kantor another Texas Lone Star book. Don't think it ought to be on this list as the list is for 6-8 grade Students, we ought to have a list by grade :-) 8th graders probably find this book very entertaining and pertaining to their lives, 6th graders think it ought to be that way and will be disappointed in life. Oh, welll...

The Demon King  by Cinda Williams Chima; yep, TLSbook. Wow, not interested at first, but once you get sucked in you are sucked in!!! Read the book over the last week and didn't get very far, started to get into it Saturday morning, and read till 12:30 am, fell asleep sitting up so went to bed, got up at 6:30 am and finished the last 2 or 3 chapters. Now waiting for the next book. Hard to get into, but once it has you it keeps having turns in it! Follow the link and read the first chapter, but you'll be disappointed and will have to read more to get into it!

The Bull Rider  by Suzanne Morgan Williams  Oh, this is not what you think it is, and I did like this book, guess it might be the one I will like best of all the TLS this year. The main subject is not Bull Riding, and that is all I am going to say. I did give it to one of the students this week and asked her to tell me what she thinks, she came back a bit later stating she started reading it and liked it so far. It's an intriguing book for anyone to read. Far better lesson then the top book :-)

Killer Pizza by Greg Taylor if you like monsters, this is a book for you. Don't care for monsters, but this is an easy read and might be for the kiddos who don't like to read and want to be grossed out a bit.

Think that's all I read since Aug. 15 and  my last post :-)
Hang on for the next instalment coming soon! There are way too many books to read!

Taken

Beeing sick helps to finish a book quickly. Read Taken by Edward Bloor yesterday. Interesting book where its 2036 and it is very normal for children of rich parents to be kidnapped for ransom.

Books I have read in 2010!

Comfort Food - Kate Jacobs
Taken - Edward Bloor - juvenile fiction
Niner - Theresa Martin Golding - juvenile fiction
Princess Ben - Catherine Gilbert Murdock - Juvenile fiction...good book
Gabriel's Horses (Racing to Freedom Trilogy) - Allison Hart - a book about slavery, the Civil War, and Horse Racing 

Comfort Food

Finished up a book yesterday! Yeah!!! I am trying to write them all down as soon as I read it...we'll see if that works. Plus I am going to have one list with all the books I read in 2010...one view of all of them...and how about a movie schedule too? Well, that might just be too much for me to handle...but we'll see!

Comfort Food: A Novel by Kate Jacobs

Praise for Comfort Food
"Kate Jacobs' breezy follow-up to her bestselling The Friday Night Knitting Club is a satisfying read that showcases Jacobs' skill in creating endearingly flawed characters… the kind of book you rush home to finish. "

– USA Today

"Gus and the show's cast, with their humor, moods, and romance, are the sparks that bring this warm and irresistible story to life. Highly recommended."

– Library Journal

"Lighthearted."

– Kirkus Reviews

"Comfort Food is good for the heart and soul."

– BookPage

My review: I liked it. Romance, cooking, family, stress, just real life (plus a bunch of...can you believe this). It is an easy to read book by the author of "Friday Night Knitting Club" which I read a year or two ago. There is a sequel to FNKC and I guess that's the next one I need to get. - this is not a kids book (this is for Jason who thinks that's all I am reading), but it also doesn't have blood and guts spilling all over, but some good competition between two extreme cabable women.

What did I read over Christmas break?

Young Adult:
Living on Impulse by Cara Haycak
Willa by Heart by Coleen Murtagh Paratore
The Cupcake Queen by Heather Hepler
Shift by Jennifer Bradbury (now this is an interesting book to read! read it in one day)

Adult:
Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos
Playing for Pizza by John Grisham

Before Christmas...in November I guess..Julie & Julia by Julie Powell...okay...that was the most weird book I have read and I don't recomend it :-(
I also read Christopher Buckleys No Way to Treat a First Lady and I do recomend this one. It was interesting reading.
Devoured Going Rogue by Sarah Palin as soon as it was available (Dan actually bought it for me without me asking for it)!

There were more books since my last posting, but I forgot which ones. And in between I also listen to books I have downloaded to MP3 player from the library...go figure.

I'll try to keep up with this better, even if I don't give you a link to these books and only write down the titles!
