What I have read lately

Bright-sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America by Barbara Ehrenreich

Call of the Wild by Jack London
I had not read this one before so when Bryn checked it out from the school library, I thought it would be cool if we both read it and then discussed it. Yeah...was a dark one. Lots of death and brutality. Maybe not the best read for a 7 year old!

Can't resist a free ebook

I love free Kindle downloads. I haven't loved them all, but who am I to complain about a free book!?!

Icy Heat: A Heat series story by Leigh Wyndfield

I am in the middle of about 3 other books...I don't usually read more than one at a time and I always get a little frazzled when I have multiple books going. Hopefully I will get them all finished before too long!

Books

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter
A fun YA book about a girl's spy school. I picked this book up at the library book sale for $.25 and I certainly enjoy it far more than what I paid for it!

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
This one was recommended by my BIL and I got for free on my Kindle. It has a lot to say about the government invading the privacy of its citizens. I didn't agree with all of the doom and gloom and the character development could have been better, but overall I really thought it was interesting.

My Soul to Save by Rachel Vincent
Another in the series I started in December. Sometimes I wonder why I bother with a book under the "harlequin Teen" heading, but then I remember - they are fun, mindless reads that I can breeze through. They fill the same niche in my brain as my soap operas and I don't even have to set the DVR!
