    A quick read that packs a pretty good visual punch. Gonna make a creepy movie someday... Not a literary masterpiece by any means, but I liked it.

    2 questions:
    First, what'd you think of Dress Your Family....?

    Second, I thought How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines looked interesting. Have you started yet? I'm wondering if it is worthwhile......

    I will add them to my ever-growing Plan to Read! When do you go back to school? Maybe we could get lunch some time before the 20th, when I go back. I will be gone this coming week. Let me know.

    It was good! I read the whole series, and frankly, I was surprised with how much I liked it! I just read The Perks of Being A Wallflower and it was amazing! I bought ten books last week that I have had on my "Plan to Read" for a year. I'm excited!

    Dear LauraMae: I am an author from Massachusetts. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published in April. If you enjoy reading a good thriller, you might like HUNTING. The novel revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother die in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother’s death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college. Now an archaeologist, she has been recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to discover whatever or whoever is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As an observant Catholic, she is scared that whatever she finds will have devastating consequences for her faith. There is a wonderful YouTube book trailer well worth watching if you have the chance. Peter

    Library school would be great for you! And changing one's mind is a good thing--it shows thought and creativity and freedom.
    How's life? I miss you and my whole first period class :-)

    Summer is not over - there is plenty of time left to read. I'm assuming that if you haven't been reading day in & day out you must have been doing much more adventurous things!!! Enjoy the rest of your summer - what are you reading now?

    Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer! Excellent book. Sometimes a little tricky, but overall, a great read!

    I liked the golden compass enough, but I don't know if I liked it enough to read the next one. Do you recommend the rest of the series?

    There are too many good books out there, so don't read something you don't like--unless your English teacher forces you to :-)
