I am reading <i>The Host</i> by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series. Honestly, I'm having a hard time getting through it, but not quite willing to abandon it just yet. I also want to read a Francine Rivers book. I've heard SO much about them, but have never read one. Any suggestions on which one I should start with?<br />
<br />

Also, I try to always have a children's book that I'm either reading or listening to on my iPod. Right now it's <i>The Mysterious Benedict Society</i> on my iPod. It's pretty good, but the guy narrating it is not my favorite reader. I'm looking forward to finishing it this week and moving on the the book <i>Fablehaven</i> as recommended by SO many of my fifth graders last year.<br />
<br />
Oh, and as always, each month I try to read through and meditate on a book of the Bible. Right now I'm reading 1 Samuel, in which David defeats Goliath and Saul turns on David. I LOVE that reading & rereading these books makes me so incredibly aware of how I personally use reading strategies as I grapple to understand.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to hearing more of what you all are reading!<br />

This sounds interesting! I might have to see if our library has a copy of it.<br />
<br />
Also, as a side note, I met a teacher over the 4th of July that teaches in a French immersion school in Edina, MN. I had heard of Spanish immersion, but not French. Thought that was interesting!<br />
<br />
Happy Reading!

LOVE <u>The Shack</u>. I downloaded the audio book to my iPod last year. I occasionally replay it as there is just SO much to think about and ponder. PLUS the audio version has a couple of interview w/ the author at the end. There's a website for it as well. I think it's <a href="http://www.theshackbook.com">www.theshackbook.com</a>.<br />
<br />
And, yes, TOO many good reads! If only my laundry fairies would arrive, I'd have more time to indulge! :-)

I am reading <u>My Life in Paris</u> about Julia Child. I am a francophile, and would love to live as and American in love with Paris as she did. I find it inspiring that she took her first cooking class until she was 37 years old! One never knows what life has in store! :-)
