    My students are all reading the Marked series. I keep meaning to pick them up and start them, but never quite get around to it. Maybe I'll try one of these next!

    I finally got Heaven is Real out of the car and finished it. Enjoyable read you are smiling at the end.

    Definitely not something I would have picked up myself (a friend gave it to me to read) but if it had been a Hallmark Movie I would have watched it and cried through the whole thing LOL

    I have decided to change my goal.
    I do a lot of "heavy" reading and have
    been thinking I need to diversify a little.

    I was looking for a recipe book tonight
    in the bookcase and ran into 8 YA classics
    that I bought this summer at Walmart for $1.00
    each. Since I have never read them, I thought
    I would read them but then forgot them LOL

    I also found 4 Janet Evanovich books, 1 Sue Grafton,
    1 Patricia Cornwell and A. Lincoln by Ronald C. White
    (actually, I found several more as well LOL)

    So I am changing my goal to
    4 books per month.

    January:
    Heaven is for Real Finished
    Saint Edith Stein, A Spiritual Portrait (new choice, the other is a bit heavy)
    The Secret Garden
    Fearless Fourteen

    February:
    The Secret Holocaust Diaries
    Peter Pan
    Finger-licking Fifteen
    The Road to Assisi

    March:
    Walk on Water
    A. Lincoln
    Sizziling Sixteen
    The Little Princess

    Ok, hopefully with some pre-planning, I can do this.

    Oh, BTW, I put the first book into a sack and will
    declutter most of them as I go along.

    Almost done with Full Dark No Stars. Probably be done by tonight. I have gotten into the very good habit of reading for a half hour or so before going to bed. I wanted to finish last night, because I only have 20 pages or so left, but I was getting too tired and the words were starting to blur!
