I’ve been reading up an autumnal storm as Utah enjoys a long fall. Usually we don’t have much of one for this New York State-born and raised girl. So I’ve been reading in front of windows wide open, back porches, and the like. I’m almost exclusively reading on a Kindle app these days, on my iPad. I like the portability and not having to hold a book helps my hands after too much time working on the computer with the day jobs of online college teaching, home school co-op teaching, and writing book #2 of The S.A.V.E. Squad.
Here’s a few books I’ve read (or listened to as audiobooks on Overdrive on my iPad):
Priscilla the Great - a lighter hearted version of Patterson’s Maximum Ride series. Priscilla finds out she is a half-breed super hero. Yeah, in seventh grade, where being different is not exactly what you’re hoping for. With the exception that I don’t care for first kisses from first boyfriends happening in seventh grade, I bought into the fun of the story. I’m taking a look at the rest of the series to see if it’s as good as the first one.The Going-Away Lake – when I was a kid, I thought I’d read all of Elizabeth Enright’s books. Either I forgot this one or I never read it. My favorite of hers is the Four-Story Mistake. Love the characters, love the plot, love the house. I wished I lived in a house like that. The Going-Away Lake is taking me on a summer where kids have adventure and there’s an abandoned Victorian mansion that will play into this. I’m not done listening to this, but am falling off to a great sleep listening to it at night.
Last one is a foray into a new genre: steam punk. The Strange Case of Finley Jane was a freebie short novel as an e-book. Not bad. Here’s the linkto find out what “steam punk” is as a genre.
