What are you reading?

I used to hate to read, especially when I was told what I had to read. Now, I quite enjoy it. I also love to hear what books others enjoy reading. So share with me your current and favorite reads.

My current reads:

Book 1 of Charlotte Mason's writings labeled Home Education

Louis Braille A biography for Rebekah's next book group

Pinocchio The original, not Disney. I am reading it to my girls. I thought I would hate it, but it is a fun read aloud.

Extraordinary beginnings to ordinary things My bathroom read, go ahead laugh, but I know you read in there too. :)

Some Favorite reads of mine:

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

What Ever Happened to Penny Candy by Richard Maybery (about economics, i actually don't hate or fear the topic after reading this book)

5000 Year Leap by Skouson (sparked a passion in me for the Constitution and the founding of our great country, and a sadness for where we are today in our government)

The Giver by Lois Lowry (I love, love, love her books, but this is my favorite)

Alright...I could go on, but that is a small sampling of books I would recommend to anyone who asked.

Well, off to bed and a little reading.

Woo hoo!!! Love the new blog. I have a huge stack of books that I meant to read while I was recovering from having a baby. Haven't touched a single one.

I spend entirely too much time reading. I could list a ton of them that I love, but we'd be here all day.

I am loving reading all over again. I loved it when I was younger then life happens and I missed it. Now I am loving it all over. i am loving The N.E. Bode books. I just finish reading The Slippery Map outloud to the kids. We all loved it.

For me I love a good mystery!
