A couple more

I am keeping track of books on Goodreads now, too. I can't decide whether it makes it easier or harder to keep double track!

Another YA book
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
I enjoyed this one, but it felt more "teen-agery" than some of the other YA books I have read. Of course that didn't stop me from moving on to the next book in the series...

Raising an American Girl: Parenting Advice for the Real World by Therese Maring

Interesting books


Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species: A Graphic Adaptation
by Michael Keller and Nicolle Rager Fuller
Having never made it from cover to cover of the original "Origin", I can't say whether this was an accurate adaptation. It seemed to stay true to the concepts and was definitely not as "dry" as the "real" book.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
This book was very interesting - it was written from the autistic main character's perspective as he attempts to figure out who killed the neighbor's dog. Quick read and definitely interesting insight into how the autistic mind might function.

I loved it...

just as much the second time through!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
