I am satisfied with my progress when it comes to my summer reading list. I have gotten some books completely done and I am in the middle of others. The strikethrough from MS Word isn't showing up on here, so I'll have to write "DONE" before the book title.
DONE - Animal Farm (Orwell) – I knocked this out during one of Gwen’s longer naps. I remembered so much from this book but now I finally understand what Orwell was trying to get across to his readers. What a classic! I’m glad to have it.
Anthem (Rand) – I have the bookmark in this book; I’m ready to start it this week. I want to read the first chapter in one sitting, so it might be one night this week that I really start it.
Banner in the Sky (Ullman) – I read the first chapter of this book last night and I might have to force my way through it. We’ll see.
Decision Points (Bush) – I am moving along in this book; I just finished the chapter about Afghanistan and the Iraq chapter is next. It’s wonderful; I absolutely love reading this one.
Everyman’s Talmud (Cohen) – This is another book with the bookmark in, ready to be started. The bookmark is a wonderful Jewish bookmark made for me by Emilee J.Q. Foxworthy (the Q stands for Hotness).
DONE - Island of the Blue Dolphins (O’Dell) – Oh, how I love this book! I didn’t remember all of the story, but it was wonderful to feel like a kid again as I read it.
Mein Kampf (Hitler) – I had to force my way through the first chapter of this book. It is horribly boring. This may be the first book that I start but never finish.
DONE - Stargirl (Spinelli) – I loved this book. So fun and refreshing!
DONE - Superfudge (Blume) – I started and finished this book yesterday. I got a kick out of the silly humor of the story.
DONE - The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (Avi) – I truly enjoyed reading this book. I am glad to have revisited it, but I don’t plan on lending it to Camden any time soon.
DONE - Under the Overpass (Yankoski) – This book, in case you don’t know, is the story of two young men, Christians, who travel through six cities as homeless. Their experiences are wonderful and the insight contained in this book is extremely thought-provoking for Christians.
DONE - The Wednesday Letters (Wright) – This book was quite good! It’s a story about family secrets; it’s difficult to put down.
