I started reading a novel by Lisa Lutz over the weekend called The Spellman Files. It's the first in an ongoing series involving a family of private investigators. It's more comedy than myster/thriller, and I'm enjoyed it as a light and fun summer read.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

We are a homeschool family so getting books for curriculum and for free is a pretty big deal.
Kids books that adults might like are: a series called "The 39 clues" a very fun series, written by several authors using history and geography to solve the big mystery. I found my son getting answers correct on "Jeopardy" just from what he'd learned and researched on these books. He also LOVES American History- he somehow travels through world history and ends up back here. Oh well. He adored "Destiny of the Republic- Madness, Medicine and Murder of the President" about Garfield. Not historical fiction, but very good non-fiction.
I truly recommend Librivox.org for free downloadable audiobooks. Anything on public domain is there....for freeeee! I just finished Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Long book but a real gem.
