Always Remember Me

How One Family Survived World War II

by Marisabina Russo

Touching. Heavy.

ETA: Husband mocked me for this post. But I had to wrap it up real fast and shut down my computer. So I'm redoing it:

This is a touching story, but also a potential gateway for some real difficult questions about how human nature can possibly be so very evil.

Families

by Susan Kuklin

This is such an excellent book. Everyone should own this book.

Double Identity

by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Oooh, cloning.

On Earth

by G. Brian Karas.

Bored now.

Mercy Watson to the Rescue

by Kate DiCamillo.

Hello, AWESOME! Bring on the buttered toast! And it's a whole freakin' SERIES!!!

Jack's Run

by Roland Smith

The sequel to Zach's Lie, which I just learned was an ALA Quick Pick for reluctant readers. I can see that. Because, again, this would have been AWESOME if I were a ten year old boy.

Oscar's Half Birthday

by Bob Graham.

Words cannot express... I need to own this one. I love this little family with their hipster parents and awesome kids. Yes. It is good.

Zach's Lie

by Roland Smith.

Kind of a boy book... which is good. I would have liked it a lot more if I were ten. Which I am not.

Back to the Bedroom

By Janet Evanovich.

Doesn't this sound like it's going to have a steamy sex scene?

It does not.

My beloved Stephanie Plum is over at someone else's house (someone who is keeping their copy of Four to Score well past the due date... AHEM), so we went for this audio selection instead. A nice romance is good once in a while.

Hot Air

The (Mostly) True Story of the First Hot Air Balloon Ride

by Margorie Priceman.

v. bored, thx

Traction Man is Here!

by Mini Grey

LOVE. Want to own Traction Man's all-in-one knitted green romper.

Walter Was Worried

by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Learn about weather... AND letters! Ooooooh...

There's a (Slight) Chance I Might be Going to Hell

by Laurie Notaro

I read this for the MamaPop book club. It was pretty good. I look forward to the discussion.

Shakespeare's Secret

by Elise Broach

I haven't read anything written for this age group (9ish) since I WAS that age group.

This was excellent. If I had read this when I was young, I might have been much more amenable to reading Shakespeare in high school.

On the Run

by Iris Johansen

An audio mystery as I wait impatiently for the 4th Stephanie Plum book to be returned to the library. This one had horsies.
