October Reading

October 30, 2013 by Tracey 2 Comments

I got caught up in more fiction than usual this month.  I wanted a book to read while we were on vacation in Atlanta, so I got Mindy Starns Clark’s A Penny for Your Thoughts from the library.  It was the first book of five in her Million Dollar Mysteries series and I ended up reading all of them!  The main characters continued through all five books, so I was interested enough to want to find out what happened at the very end.

I guess I’ve gotten a bit busier in the last couple of weeks because I haven’t done much reading.  Here’s what else I read in October.

  • Better Than Good:  Creating a Life You Can’t Wait to Live by Zig Ziglar
  • The Parent You Want to Be:  Who You Are Matters More Than What You Do by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott
  • Have a New Teenager by Friday by Dr. Kevin Leman

About two-thirds of the way through, I gave up on reading Kidnapped to my ten-year-old. The language was a bit too antiquated and colloquial for both of us.  We’re now reading Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.  I didn’t read this book until I was a young adult, but it’s now one of my – and my twelve-year-old’s – favorites.

What good books have you been reading lately?

    Isn't it funny that we published our book reading on the same day?!

    The book by the Parrotts sounds like a good one; I'll have to look into it. And I read Kidnapped in junior high, and I remember it being hard to understand. Treasure Island is much better and easier to understand. Have you read it?
