Barnes and Noble

I received a generous donation from SOS at the end of school and bought many new books for our library. Here's what to look for in the fall: new books by Mary Higgins Clark and James Patterson, the Twilight Series, the 39 Clues series and Pigeon books by Mo Willems for the younger set.

39 Clues

4 books in; I can't wait to continue the adventure with Amy and Dan! In books 3 and 4, they are betrayed again and are still not sure whether to trust Alistair Oh. Book 5 will be out in August.

Twilight

I have finished all 4 books in this series. I am loving being able to read on my deck while my son plays in the backyard.
As I said several times, I didn't expect to enjoy these books but was hooked quickly. The end didn't disappoint.
For a different tack, try The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Hicks.

39 Clues

I have read the first 2 books in the 39 Clues Series and I am completely hooked. They remind me of the Lemony Snicket Series of Unfortunate Events. Amy and Dan Cahill were orphaned at a young age and now their grandmother has died. In her will, the surviving family members are offered a chance to go on a worldwide clue hunt to find a mysterious treasure. Amy and Dan undertake the challenge but other, less friendly family members try to stop them every step of the way.
The first 3 books in the series are out with the 4th due to be published at the end of May. Titles of the first 3 are: The Maze of Bones, One False Note and The Sword Thief.

Starting this blog is something I have wanted to do for a while. This will be a place for me to discuss books and authors, as well as library news. More to come soon.
