That reading journey continued...

Wow. Did I really not post a list of books I'd been reading in August. I guess it really was  busy month. Anyway, here's a list of books recently read and reviewing on that continuing Reading Journey.

Children's fiction: A delightful tale told in verse
A Boy and His Wizard, a read-aloud book by M. A. Smith

Paranormal... Breaking Dawn finally came out in paperback!

Deception, a Haunting Emma novel by Lee Nichols
Breaking Dawn, by Stephanie Meyer

Sci fi...Mockingjay was everything I'd hoped it would be! Dream War was well worth the wait (but only available on kindle--I downloaded kindle-for-pc)
The First Dragoneer, by M.R. Mathias
Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins
Dream War, by Stephen Prosapio

Historical. Crooked River was a great young adult novel with well-researched detail and a powerful feeling of reality. Hotel on the Corner was just haunting.
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford
Crooked River, by Shelley Pearsall



Real world: Aura Imbarus' was the best memoir I've ever read--I loved it. Tending to Grace is a great contemporary YA novel. Cataclysm children gives a wise and interesting perspective on school dangers. And Returning Injury and The House bring the realities of life and love to vivid and forgiving life.
