Hello!  Do you ever go somewhere and want to bring a ton of books?  I was packing some of my books earlier and I found out that my pile of books I've read is growing bigger and my pile of books to pack is growing smaller!!  It's really funny, because today I can't seem to stop reading, so I'll probably have read all the books I've packed by the time I leave!!  Anyway, some of the books I've read have been: Ever by Gail Carson Levine, Are You There God? It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume, The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstien, Heart to Heart by Lurlene McDaniel, The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne Birdsall (Highly Recommended, Second book in the series), Secret of the Sirens by Julia Golding (Also Highly Recommended), and Water Street by Patricia Reilly Giff (Highly Recommended).  These are all great books, and I've marked my favorites, so you can look them up and see if you'd be interested.  See ya!

Hi All!  I'm in a mother-daughter book club with a few of my neighbors, and we've been reading some interesting books.  The first one we read was A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck.  This is an awesome book!  The characters are so real and the story is very sweet!  I love the setting of the book, a small town where everybody knows everybody.  I don't want to give away the story, but I do recommend you read the book!  Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath is another amazing story.  The main character, Primrose, never loses faith that her parents are out on a little island, waiting to be rescued.  Everyone else in the town of Coal Harbour believes Primrose's parents are dead.  Primrose goes to an exotic adult, Miss Bowzer, whenever she needs help.  Miss Bowzer owns a restaurant called The Girl On The Red Swing, and it serves... well it serves "a little extra."  The next book we're reading, is called Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan.  I went ahead and read

The Penderwicks is a great book!  It's officially on my (revised) favorite list! Image found on Google When the Penderwicks rent out Arundel Cottage instead of their usual summer house, they have no idea of the adventure their in for.  The trip to Arundel starts off by getting lost on the road because the dog ate the map.  And when they get directions from Harry the Tomato Guy, their first impression of the place is , "Are we lost again?  Because this is a mansion, not a cottage."  After speaking with the gardener and cleaning up the dog's barf, the five Penderwicks pull around the back of the mansion to the real cottage.  Rosalind at age 12 is the oldest Penderwick child and has curly brown hair and brown eyes, like her sisters Jane and Batty.  Blue eyes, blue Skye, is how you remember the second eldest Penderwick, Skye, who unlike her sisters is always getting into trouble.  Skye also has blue eyes and blond hair that differs from the other Penderwicks, except

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine is a twist on the original Cinderella story.  Ella is cursed with obedience.  If someone told her to eat, she'd have to keep eating until someone ordered her to stop.  (This actually happens in the book.)  But Ella doesn't need to obey a request such as, "Ella, will you fetch me some candy?"  Ella journeys all over the country of Kyrria, trying to find a fairy to remove her curse.  Along the way Ella encounters other magical creatures such as gnomes, ogres, and elves.  Poor Ella, going through finishing school, attending a giant's wedding, eating elvish love mushrooms, and of course obeying, obeying, obeying.  There are some things for Ella to enjoy though, including her own centaur, sliding down stair rails, meeting Prince Char, looking for a hidden passage in an old castle, a friend from Ayorthia, learning new languages, and tricking ogres who want to eat her.  Ella's life is more than a little exciting!  A nice fairy ta
