Read 43 books

I’m just doing all consuming from now on.

Eleven on Top

The problem is, I love the Stephanie Plum novels so much that her voice takes over when I’m writing. I even named one of my characters in my Nano Stephanie. Good thing the books only come out once a year.

Another problem is that I know that I’ve read other books, but I kind of lost sight of this goal. I think I’m on number 16? I’m only counting novels.

Back to the Bedroom

Eventually I will figure out that I only like her Stephanie Plum books.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Penultimate Peril.

I’m only counting books that I read aloud to my girl if I think that I would read them anyway.

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. This trilogy was very satisfying.

The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman. These books are better than chocolate for me. But I’m not sure about having kids under age 12 read these. They are fantasy, but they touch on some very sensitive real subjects. Like genital mutilation.

The Golden Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. I’m reading a lot of kids books, because we kept talking about these great books in my teaching of language arts class, but I didn’t have time to read them. So now I’m bingeing.

I actually read this right after I finished The Sunday Philosophers Club, and the two books went really well together. I liked it. It was an interesting peek into the mind of a boy with autism.

I didn’t realize that this book was a sequel to The Bean Trees until about the second chapter. It was a very satisfying read.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K Rowling
