This book is freaky, freaky! I would have totally picked something like this in middle school. The fake parents with button eyes are enough for nightmares that is for sure. This might lead to the reading of the chapter book as well. I can only imagine the imagining from the words is even more creepy.
Still working on Clash of Kings (book 2 of Game of Thrones) and the 6th installment of the Stookie Stackhouse series.
Needless to say. I am reading. Reading everyday, many pages at a time. Making room for reading is so important. Reading faster even after 30 some days of summer.

#bookaday June 19 & 20: Little Red Lies & My Beautiful Broken Shell
Little Red Lies is a historical fiction with more realistic situations in it than history.
My Beautiful Broken Shell a little inspirational book that makes you remember that even when something is broken in your life you still have value.

This is my first non-fiction book for the summer. After reading Reading in the Wild I realized that I wished that my students would read more non-fiction books. How do I get them to do that? Well it can't hurt me reading a few non-fiction books from time to time.
While in Houston, last March I bought this book based on a suggestion from my father-in-law. Since I am back in Houston I thought it would be a perfect time to read a book about the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. The science of weather has always been interesting to me since I spent nine years teaching Earth Science. This book had so many tragic human stories and so many intriguing science stories.
Very glad to add this to my list for #bookaday.

My graphic novel frenzy continues. There is something about a graphic novel that I just love. The details in both the graphics and the words. What is interesting is that I have to stop myself and look at the pictures because I am such a "word" person.

This is number 5 of the series. I am loving the details about the characters. It continues to not disappoint as far as vampires, werewolves and other "sups (supernatural beings)."
I know, I know. The goals was to read the Game of Throne series this summer…there is still time.

#bookaday June 6th: Dead to the World I love vampire and werewolf books. #4 in the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries.
I have always loved books with vampires and werewolves. This is a great "easy" read series that always has some crazy twists and turns.

#bookaday June 5th: Finally finished 1984 today! Can't wait to discuss with book club June 30th.
This book is a must read. The themes in it are so very dark. It's amazing to think a man predicting so many things about the future in 1949.
Towards the end you really get creeped out by what happens to the main character.
