The Bookworm Bookshelf Grows

Book club at Monkeyshines begins next month. I seriously need a secretary to keep track of who goes when. Sophie attends the 1st Tuesday of the month, Christian the 2nd Tuesday of the month, and now that Devin is in the 12+ group, he will attend the 4th Tuesday. Between hockey and dance lessons, our Tuesdays will be a huge tangled web of busy-ness...I LIVE for this ( as I wink). We picked up the books for October's book club meeting yesterday. I thought we could get a jump on reading while we are on the plane to PEI this coming Saturday.

Sophie is reading Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath. I skimmed through it, and the main character has a reminiscent feeling of Anne of Green Gables...just with a bit of a twist. ( I think Ihave too much Anne on my mind)

Christian is reading Toby Alone by Timothee de Fombelle. No comments yet on this book, but it looks pretty good. I'll read it myself in PEI ( between all our "field trips")

Devin will be reading The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. I've managed to begin reading it myself, and it's pretty good. The premise is: looking at life through a dog's eyes ...However, I'm not to crazy about some of the language that the author uses...enough said. I've already warned Devin that it's more "edgy" than he's used to, but apparently, both the boys informed me that Half Brother, which they just finished also uses some expletive language. Thanks for telling me after the fact guys.
I've managed to update our library list on Google books, so take a look to see what we've added.

As for managing my lists of favorite blogs, suppliers and such, it's a work in progress. Blogger is having some issues, so my lists are not showing up the way they should be. I'll try and wrap my head around this issue when we get back from our holidays.

As for the holidays...2 days and counting! Whoo Hoo!
