Read a Book, or Two, or 50!

While I was in Haiti I borrowed some books from Angie (it got boring at night.) I read four books in a week and a half. That was just reading late at night after the internet was turned off. Once I got to FL I went to WalMart to get a book to read on the way home (after being stuck on a plane for 3 hours without moving I was glad I did.) Once I got home I decided I was going to try and read 50 books this summer. I am almost positive I will not be able to reach that goal (I'm expected to cook, clean, do laundry, work, and spend time with real people...LAME!) Right now I am almost finished with book nine it is is already July, so I am not going to make my goal, but that is okay, I am going to see how close I can get. I got a library card and have been going to town on reading. I have found some new authors I really love and read some new books of authors I have read before. I want to rate each book I have read so far but I know I'll just give them all 5 out of 5 so there is no point. Here is the list:

Island Inferno by Chuck Holton
Against All Odds
An Eye for an Eye
In Harm's Way (all three of these are by Irene Hannon and are The Heroes of Quanitco series.)
The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
Along for the Ride
This Lullaby
Lock and Key (all three of these are by Sarah Dessen)
There You'll Find Me by Jenny B Jones (not done with this one yet)

I hate how many teens don't read anymore. When I told my youth group about my goal one kids said "Wait! 50 books!!!??" and another one said "I don't think I've read 50 books in my life." Breaks my heart! Reading is the best way to pass time (or keep you from getting house work done)

Until next time..."The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”-Dr. Suess (the best author in the whole world)

Now....go read a book!
