thescrappyhomeschooler Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Interesting to see all the different books being read!! DS5 just read a few Magic School Bus books and for a series he's reading Secrets of Droon - I can't keep track of which ones he's read lately DD4 rereads her lvl 1/2 books constantly but her new read is Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink - she only had trouble with 3 words I was amazed! ACK! Secrets of Droon! My boys always want to choose those as read alouds, and after suffering through two of them out loud, I told them those would have to be ones they read to themselves. I can't take the horrible writing any longer! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't like it either and he said it just "wasn't the same" as Percy Jackson. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Ds10 had the same review of The Red Pyramid. He didn't like it either and he said it just "wasn't the same" as Percy Jackson. LOL I think I will read it next and find out if its true or if she just isn't ready to like something new. I do find it funny that she is so stuck on the other series and have tried to explain that its ok to like other stories.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnia Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 My son, almost 8 is reading both The Velveteen Rabbit (aloud to me) and The Wizard of Oz (on his own.)

nmoira Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Since this thread is still going on, I'll update. :) Today DD the Elder, 8, read The Girl Who Could Fly. She said it was good while reading, but not much there... so a definite "Meh." :001_smile: Edited June 18, 2010 by nmoira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) DD5 just started reading the Paddington Bear series. Also, we have about 30 Magic Tree House books borrowed from the library and all of them have been read this month...half way (huh?). Same thing with Harry Potter books, skipping around from book to book. She gave me a wink today because she knows Ron's rat is not just a rat, so she must have skipped from Book 2 to Book 6. She must have gotten that from me because I like reading the end first (very, very bad habit).

orangearrow Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Let's see... older dd: Just today, finished the third Fablehaven book. Near the end of The Witch of Blackbird Pond Yesterday, finished the Sign of the Beaver in the middle of Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark I'm sure there's something I'm missing. younger dd: finishing the 4th or 5th in the How to Train Your Dragon series in the middle of the Elizabeth's Diary series just finished the Pocahontas book by the d'Aulaires And, again, I'm sure there are books I'm forgetting about. They sort of inhale books lately. Even the "boring" ones. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ester Maria Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) 12 yo DD finished yesterday "The Old Man and the Sea"; the only one in our family to actually like Hemingway. I saw 13 yo DD these days reading a collection of Hesse's short stories and rereading Camus' "The Stranger", though the last thing I know she told me she had finished, a few days ago, was Bruckner's "The Day of the Bomb".

pie Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 My 10dd just finished From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs Frank E Basilheimer. I think that is the title. She's also finishing up the last Little House series of books, and more "fun" stuff this summer. She plays on Tootsville and really types fast now because the kids chat with each other....so reading took a backseat. Gonna have to limit her online time now!

Storm Bay Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 8 months, "Where is My Baby" board book. Amazingly, he wasn't reading it in English, either! :D The right way or upside down ;)? My eldest would read a book, and then turn it upside down on purpose to read it again that way. She didn't like it if I tried to put the book back the right way, either. She might have been older than 8 months, though by then. It's been so long it's hard to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My son is 12 and is on summer break, so not required to do any reading right now. However, he has a few books he didn't finish up before the school year ended that he's still working on when we go places in the car. He just handed me a graphic novel about Queen Elizabeth that he finished today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 All of my children except the pre-reader have just read or are finishing up the same book. They're twelve, nine and seven years old, and I'm pretty sure their twenty-three-year-old brother and sister-in-law have read or are reading it or will be reading it soon. It's an advance review copy of The Candymakers by Wendy Mass. It's pretty Wonka-esque from what they've told me, but I am made to understand that the plot is twisted and complicated.
