A Reading Diary

I never expected this to become a diary of what I have been reading this summer, but it needs to be something I guess, so here it is . . .



I have been working on reading books off of the NC Battle of the Books list - a competition for middle school students who read specific books and then go through quiz bowl like competitions answering questions about the books. The NC School Library Media Association sponsors this competition, and it gets kids reading.



I have read several this summer and am getting ready to head over to my library to pick up two or three for a trip Brent and I leave on tomorrow. The last one I read was The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke (pronounced foon-kay). It was okay. I much prefer her Inkspell series - of which there are currently two with a third in the works.

I also read The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau. That was an excellent book - a really quick read - and there are more in the series -

Have to admit - I am a sucker for a series -
