Behind!

Need to catch my reading list up...

For now, though, I just completed The Adoration of Jenna Fox. On Monday, I will share this book with my students and will no doubt loan out this one.

Set in the future (I hope!) this book captured by attention as I was pulled into the "lostness" of this Jenna...or should I say Jenna #2? That's right, you, too, will have to read on to find out why I give her that number.

I empathized with the parents, for I came to the same point they did one night when we all thought my daughter might die. Believing as I do (as does Lily, the grandmother), life beyond this one is not a bad thing. Thankfully, God through the minds and hands of doctors gave my Holly back to me...

This novel will stir your ethical questions about scientists and how far should they really go...read on!

#6-7: Ladybug Farm

Written by Donna Ball, these latest two reads A Year on Ladybug Farm and At Home on Ladybug Farm were ones that quietened by spirit, for they were about three ladies in their 50's who purchase and move into a historical home and soon adopt others, people and animals alike, to share this adventure with them.

No science-fiction characters. No romance. Just a novel about life. A life into which I could easily insert myself.

# 5: Tempted (House of Night)

Sixth in a series of nine, P.C. and Kristin Cast's latest novel Tempted continues the epic journey of Zoey Redbird into the world of vampires.

I must say...Zoey and her friends make me tired! The entirety of this series has taken place within a month or two. This kids are going to burn out!

Yet, when I begin one, I want to read until the end to determine how this next grand adventure resolves itself.

Did you note from my intro that more novels are to published? Three more!
