Monday, August 22 and I'm reading....

Hosted by Book Journey
What I'm reading:
Maine by Courtney Sullivan---the story of four women from three generations of a family and their beach property in Maine.







What I just finished:
Boom! by Mark Haddon---a middle-grade book by the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.  The book is a hoot.  Review to follow.  Look for it!








What I'm listening to:
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen---this is my first Sarah Dessen book and I can see the appeal for teen girls.









What I hope to read next:
Blink and Caution by Tim Wynne-Jones--- Two street kids get tangled in a plot over their heads - and risk an unexpected connection - in this heart-pounding thriller.

    re your comment: Dash&Lily definitely would be great to read during the holidays, but luckily it is still enjoyable now. [:

  6. Blink and Caution sounds like my kind of book, as long as it isn't too scary!

  9. It seems like a lot of people are reading Maine. I need to check it out! Boom sounds cute but it might be too old for my 7 year old. I look forward to your review.

  11. I'm a fan of Sarah Dessen's writing and I did enjoy Along For The Ride, although not my favourite of hers. Boom sounds great!

    PS. yes I did enjoy Forever, it got off to a slow start but a really good end to the trilogy and Maggie's writing is as gorgeous as ever. Shiver remains my favourite though
