Great List! Here is mine: I am going to start Petey by Ben Mikaelsen tonight. My 5th grade son said it is the best book ever, and he read it in school! Next I will read A Princess Found, about Sarah Culberson, a woman who I used to work with who found out her biological father is from Sierra Leone, and she was the child of a Paramount Chief, giving her princess status. It looks fascinating, and I am excited to finally read it. City of Bones is next – Holly Black calls it “Funny, dark, and sexy..” so how can I resist? I tend to hoard books over breaks, so I also have Going Bovine, Lips Touch, Outliers, Bermudez Triangle.. We’ll see how much I actually read! Maybe Ill blog about it…

Great list Cathy! I couldn’t resist blogging about my list after reading your post, although as you will see, it’s much less detailed than yours. Couldn’t take too much time away from reading.

@Lisa thanks for sharing your list!

@ Kathleen I will probably cut that butter requirement in the recipes too then.

@Diane LOVE YOUR LIST!!

@John–I too also listen to audiobooks in the car on my drive to work. Just recently finished Ender’s Game, and Im getting ready to start Pride and Prejudice once school resumes.

I love Paula Deen and I have found that you can safely leave out about half of the butter from most of her recipes and not even notice.

Right now I am reading Hitler’s War by Harry Turtledove to get my alternative history fix in. If I can find it in my public library I plan on reading 21st Century Skill too. On the Audible side I am still listening to Under the Dome by Stephen King and looking for another book to listen to.
