    All your books like great! I have to read a Lisa Wingate book for our next book club. I think she's a bit lame - very nice, sweet stories. Yawn... Then we read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society for January. Have you read that? Love you!

    I'm anxious to hear what my book club friends have to say about it. We are meeting the last week of the month. I am usually enlightened by our discussions. Love you!

    Good or bad, The Shack speaks to where I am right now. I just read the part about how Jesus is disappointed in organized religion and tells Mack why. I was wondering if that bothered you.

    Your other reading is VERY heavy. Almost like my other reading: Theory and Research in Writing.
    Love you!

    Curse of the POGO STICK? WHat's that about? I am reading The Shack right now for book club - and find it interesting. I remember you told me you didn't like it. Why not? Love you!

    I didn't read that yet, I have only been able to read the books my teachers have assigned, even for summer reading we have to read the same books. I will put that on my list to read.

    My lit professor would be so proud of you. Wish you were in class with me. I have to find PILES of books related to a certain genre each week - published after 2000 and recommended by one of a number of respected organizations (award winner, publishers weekly, school library journal, etc.) And she prefers to see some diversity - in subject matter, author, etc. Then I have to read them. Whew.

    How do you find these authors?

    I love how you read EVERYTHING that an author's ever written. That's something we recommend to our reluctant readers - find an author you like and stick with it! Love you!

    What's wrong with The Shut Mouth Society? I usually like Lincoln stuff. I am trying to convince my book club to add something about him to next year's list. Not surprised that you loved THE BOOK THIEF so much. It's one of my all time favorites.

    I just finished To Kill A Mockingbird and I am currently writing an essay on it for school. I have never read The Book Thief but I heard it was good. I love Jodi Picoult's books. My mom and I have been going back and forth reading her books. I am currently reading Keeping Faith which is about a mother, Mariah, who is trying to keep control of her daughter Faith. Faith claims to see God as her imaginary friend. It's the story of the media attacking the poor family and then Mariah falling in love with the one guy from the media. Its a really good book and I think you would like it. Love and miss you !!

    I am rereading THE GIVER (by Lois Lowry) for my lit class. It's a great book - now I'm going to read the other two - fantasy and science fiction for next week!

    I had heard the same thing about that author. I didn't want to say that before you read it. Funny and horrible? Sounds good.

    I'm with you on A Walk in the Woods - one of my all time favorites. Mom turned me on to him. And I love him. But I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at anyone else like I do for Dave Barry. Let me know about Running with Scissors. I think I'd like that one, too.

    We discussed The Book Thief at book club tonight - everyone thought it was fantastic. We don't always agree.
