book cover


Jack and Annie saw wagons going to CA. They met a teacher that was 16 or 17 years old living in a dug out with a storm protector on it that she built. My favorite part of the book so far is that Jack is better at reading than everyone in his class. Can't wait to read more tomorrow.

An entertaining book to read. However there were many things that could be done to improve it, like adding a little deeper meaning and adding few more sensory details.

Two sisters, Emily and Jessamine, are opposites in every way. Emily is the CEO of a large technology company. Jess is an environmental activist and a graduate student in philosophy. Emily is making a fortune. Jess is barely surviving financially. Emily is rational and driven, Jess is a dreamer. The novel tells of the changes in their lives due to the differences in their personalities. I loved the cookbook and food references that become a huge part of changing Jess' life and livelihood.

The House Of Trelawney

I was given this book but was reluctant to read it because of the cover! However I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a very good read once I decided to persevere and read it. It follows the trials and tribulations of a once landed family in England who are trying to maintain the inheritance despite overwhelming current circumstances. I really enjoyed it.

Mummies In The Morning

How to Make a Pancake
by Dave Max
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I read this book all by myself. It's a silly book about how to make a pancake. It tells you every step you take like adding the eggs and then the milk and pouring it into the pan. If you listen to the directions you can make a pancake. I like bacon and pancakes.

March Book 1
by John Lewis
View in Library Catalog
book cover


March (Book 1) is a great read for all ages. I recommend not rushing through this novel, but taking the time to thoroughly analyze the graphics drawn by Nate Powell in order to gain a deeper understanding of the Civil Rights struggle. I appreciated learning about John Lewis' childhood and experiences in the South, to better understand how they impacted his future activism. Especially interesting was the conflict WITHIN the movement between the older activists who were more willing to compromise, such as MLK Jr and Thurgood Marshall, and the younger activists who wanted full justice without negotiation, such as John Lewis and Diane Nash of SNCC. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next books in the trilogy.

Dragon Masters 6

It was a great book and it is full of teamwork. This book was full of adventure and it was full of excitement. I really enjoyed this book because it was about dragons and it was awesome. You should definitely read it if you like dragons as much as I do.
