Book for May

Okay, so after much indecision, I've finally decided on a book. Because of language, "The Glass Castle" has been nixed. It's a good book, though. I would highly recommend it on your own time. "The Little Princess" is one of my all time favorites, and I was surprised that so many of you hadn't read it. Yes, it is a children's book but it is wonderful. So, I would recommend that one also! I was thinking about a couple of others, but I finally settled on "A Lantern in Her Hand." It's an inspiring book and I think it will provide some good discussion. Not a difficult read. I might save that one for next time. :)

My Sister's Keeper

Hi all! I just finished a good book that I think most of you would enjoy. (Even the fiction haters!) It's called My Sister's Keeper, and it's by Jodi Picoult. It's well written and raises some interesting moral questions in regards to genetic engineering, medical treatment, etc. It also illustrates the stress placed on family members when a child has a chronic illness like cancer. It's got some language, etc. so I wouldn't choose it as an official book club discussion book, but it's still pretty good. Check it out!

Fablehaven

I thought I would share a new book series I really like.

My sister recommended this book to me. This is the first of four books. I am not sure how many more will be in the series, but it is fun to read. It is a children's book a lot like Harry Potter. There are magical creatures and fun adventures. It is an easy read, but well worth your time. It is probably meant for kids at least 7 years old, maybe a little older than that.

Happy reading!
