I am just hoping that the rest of the books would be released very soon before I forget the storyline all over again.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-56271836423173988672015-05-20T09:38:20.483-04:002015-05-20T09:38:20.483-04:00Anne of Green Gables is on my list for this summer...Anne of Green Gables is on my list for this summer!

Our oldest is an avid reader, but our youngest claims to HATE reading now! Still, he has many years of good memories of books he enjoyed, us reading aloud, etc. so like you, I am hopeful, he will someday rediscover the joy of reading. His girlfriend loves to read - maybe that will help!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-26298460014084485162015-05-19T14:14:22.881-04:002015-05-19T14:14:22.881-04:00Julie - This is just such a busy time of year when...Julie - This is just such a busy time of year when you have kids!

It is the little things, right? I planned to nap Beautiful Creatures and then forgot all about it. I have it in print, so I suppose that will have to do.

I still haven't read the Raven Boys, but I've been meaning to start it. I've had Ask the Dark for a while but haven't gotten to it. Perhaps I should! Last week wasn't very productive for me either.
