Its Monday, What are you Reading?

And so the final post of the year 2012.

This week I read One For the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt.  Oh my, what a wonderful book. What a story, that could just so pull at my heartstrings.  Did I need tissues? Yes. A very special book to end the year on. I began it with Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt and I end it with this one. As it happens for me, the two best of the year.






Plan for this week, something a little less draining! So, I am going to read The Recruit by Robert Muchamore. The very first in the Cherub series. Two of the boys in my class this year highly recommend this series, so I need to taste it so that I can steer others in the class towards it.

    Emotional books can be just what I need sometimes. And of course they tend to be memorable. Happy New Year!

    Hi there Kathryn, glad to hear about your beginning and ending book for 2012. I am not familiar with One Murphys but it sounds like a lovely tear-jerker. Would try to see if we have this in our libraries.
