AK_Mom4 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Donna Andrew's mysteries - the Meg Langslow ones (she's a blacksmith). Definitely a good fit for those Calgon Moments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm currently reading the third book in the "Wideacre" trilogy by Philippa Gregory. (Wideacre was her very first book). I've been alternating between this series and "The Hunger Games" series. (finished the Hunger Games books and now finishing up the Wideacre books).

dcjlkplus3 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 My daughter sucked my husband and me into the 39 Clues books. I have to know what happens next...they only take me about 2 hours to read and now I am stuck waiting for book 8 adn there are only 10 books out... They are for that 8-12 year ld range, but are surprisingly intriguing:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I just finished Plain Secrets: An Outsider Among the Amish by Joe MacKall. It's a non-fiction about the Swartzentruber Amish, the most conservative Amish group there is. It was very good. I'm also reading The Telling by Beverly Lewis. And I'm going to skim through my copy of TWTM (got it free from a fellow homeschooler!). I think it's the 2nd edition, and I've read one of the versions cover-to-cover, except for the high school years, but it's time to go through it again.

Cinder Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm sticking with my light fare. Just finished Artemis Fowl: the Time Paradox and am now in the middle of Sweater Quest: My Year of Knitting Dangerously by Adrienne Martini. On audiobook: Magyk, book one of the Septimus Heap series. Not sure what I'll read next. Probably the next Artemis Fowl story. :D Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlifemom Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The Design Revolution by William A. Dembski.

I'm intrigued. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm currently listening to The Hunger Games on my ipod and just finished reading A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell. Both are good, but neither are exactly lighthearted or fun. Re-reading Harry Potter 6, followed by 7. The movies always make me re-read the books.

Ottakee Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I am reading the Mennonite Mystery series by Tamar Myers right now. http://www.amazon.com/Crooks-Spoil-Pennsylvania-Dutch-Mystery-Recipes/dp/0451182960/ref=sr_1_12?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1290207007&sr=1-12 The reviewers didn't seem to like the books but I thought they were nice---just enough humor to keep things going and nothing gruesome with the mysteries. There is a whole series of these books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
