weekly book post-Thanksgiving week

I am grateful for good books. I have read several lately and need them as a distraction from stress. I am reading Sweet Valley Confidential.  I started it last week but really got into it this weekend. I was up past midnight last night reading it. I can't wait to see what happens. If anyone has read it, I would love to chat about it when I am finished. What is everyone else reading this week?

Re: weekly book post-Thanksgiving week

  • Happy Thanksgiving week!  I am looking forward to being done with conferences so I can read a little more.

    I am reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.  It won the Newbury Award 2 or 3 years ago.  I am enjoying it but it is taking me forever.

  • I just finished The Pact by Jodi Piccoult. Intense! Last night I started The Mill River Recluse. So far it is really good!

  • I'm in the middle of "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" right now. I'm finding it really interesting, but not a page turner.
  • I finally let DH talk me into reading the Zombie Survival Guide.  Gotta be prepared for the zombie apocolapse!  World War Z will be my next read.

    Beyond the story itself, I found the medical history part of it both frightening & amazing!  

     I was out of town last week for work, and bought a total fluff book at the airport bookstore and was all excited to read it.  Got on the plane, read two pages, and realized I already read it!  I was so mad.  So I returned it at the next airport & got Janet Evanovich's Sizzling Seventeen which was a fun, quick, easy read.  I'm excited to see the "One for the Money" movie in January- even if it does look cheesy :)

     On the trip home tonight I plan to read lots of magazines & try to read a few more pages of "the Lobotomist".   It's not exactly a page turner, but it is interesting!

  • I just finished The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. I absolutely loved it. It was hilarious and heartbreaking all at the same time. Also, a very quick read. I think it would be great for reluctant young readers.
  • I just read Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz for my children's lit class. I really enjoyed it- it's about a 14 year old boy who becomes a spy.
