    I'm finally reading The Book Thief and really enjoying it.

    I've got the third book in the Saxon series, Bel Canto, and Dangerous Women on my tablet. I think I'm also going to get the Chris Hadfield book and All the Light We Cannot See. It's a ten hour flight to Ecuador, plus time on the ground. Internet access will be spotty, so I want to have them before we go. I love summer vacation because I can read adult books. I did just plow through the first three books in the 7 Wonders series by Peter Lerangis. Like Rick Riordan did with Roman, Greek and Egyptian gods, he's taken what could be a tired topic and made it into a fascinating adventure series for 10 year olds.

    I forgot, I also read Pi in the Sky by Wendy Mass. She is one of my favorite children's authors. Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life and A Mango Shaped Space were both amazing reads.

    Just finished The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent -- a beautifully written book. If you're interested in the Salem witch trials, check it out: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...tic-s-daughter

    Now reading a very lightweight James Patterson mystery, The 9th Judgment.

    Reading Start the Conversation again. Having a rough go right now dealing with my moms death and that book has helped me immensely in the past.

    (((Pax))). Thanks for that recommendation. I'd never heard of that book but it sounds like something that might be useful to me.

    Pam, it's a good book to read a little, then sit and think about what you read. Honestly it took away my fear of death when I read it the first time. Very helpful.

    I've been listening to "Good Omens" in my car (by Pratchett and Gaiman) and having a great time listening to it. I suspect I will then have to read it :-)
