Summer 2011

Well, I have rekindled my reading this summer. After the kids are all in bed I break out my book and read. We have also been camping this summer and as the kids take naps I read. I have really enjoyed the escape that books have given me this summer.

I finished the House of Night Series, that is out right now, by P. C. and Kristen Cast. This series is about a gir, Zoey Redbird,l who is marked to become a vampire and goes to vampire finishing school. At the school she deals with the typical teen problems, and then some not so typical teen problems. I don't recommend this series for middle school students, wait till you are in high school. Untamed Hunted Tempted Burned Awakened I plan on reading Destined when it comes out in October.

I also reread Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer because I thought the new movie was coming out this summer, but it is not coming out until November 18th.

I am currently reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Summer 2010 I haven't been able to read any books this summer, as taking care of twins has kept me busy. The times that would be great for reading have been replaced with quick naps so I can at least function on a low level. Yet while I was on bedrest I was able to read multiple books which I'm counting as my summer reads! I can do that right?

Okay, I lied, I am reading one book. I am reading The Dragon in the Sock Drawer by Kate Klimo with Jersey. I wanted to spend some time with her as the twins are taking up a lot of my time and reading a book together seemed like a great idea. Jersey loves reading and I wanted to continue to feed that love over the summer.

So here are the books I read while on bed rest.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan The Lightning Thief The Sea of Monsters The Titans Curse The Battle of the Labyrinth The Last Olympian

Books by Suzanne Collins Hunger Games Catching Fire

I also want to read the last book in this series, Mocking Jay, being released 8/24/2010.

House of Night Series by P.C and Kristen Cast Marked Betrayed Chosen Untamed

My goal is to finish this series this summer. I don't know when I will find the time, but I will have to make time. Hunted Tempted Burned

6/2/09 I'm not reading any books right now as I am getting ready to head down to Laramie and attend the University of Wyoming to work on my master's degree. I'm sure there will be some recommended reading for my two classes, but probably not something I would share with you. 6/7/09 I just started my first book of the summer today, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This is my first audio book and I am really enjoying it. The narrator, Jim Dale, makes the book. Anticipation of the upcoming events made the trip to Laramie less of a drag. So for all of you out there traveling this summer, check out an audio book for the trip! 6/11/09 I finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. What a great book, written by a great author, narrated by a great narrator. 6/14/09 I just started to read/listen to the triology of Lord of the Rings. I again checked out an audio book to bide my time to Laramie. I'm not sure why this audio book is different from my first audio book. This one is not read like a book, but presented more as a play with different characters on the audio cd and horrible sound effects. I did not like the book presented this way, and the trip to Laramie was excrutiatingly long. 6/21/09 I have given up on the triology. I believe it was the abridged version and I now know that I want to check out the unabridged version. I started listening to the second book of the Harry Potter series on 19th, and just about finished it on the way to Laramie this afternoon. I'm not sure what I am going to listen to on my way home. 8/3/09 Wow! It's been awhile since I've been on the site, but I'm still reading. Maybe I've been too busy reading to post anything. I started Twilight on July 10th and finished the last book, Breaking Dawn, on July 28th. I read a lot on the plane rides to the Eastern Seaboard and back. What a great read. I really enjoyed all of them. I'm still listening to the Harry Potter books. I'm on the Goblet of Fire right now. I'm also reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. She has a great first name, so I thought I would try. Keep reading, not much summer left.
