Currently on the Nightstand

I can't figure out the layout on this blog--it does not have a tab that my other two do and so I will simply write a new post. (Joseph has a hard time with the amount of books I read and listen to simultaneously). He can keep computer threads and quests separate and active.

Books I am currently reading:
The Book of Mormon--I am behind the church reading schedule...just finishing up 2 Nephi. I try and start my day with a chapter to aid spirituality and remind me to be a better person.

* The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm by Nancy Farmer--Newberry Honor book, excellent stroyteller.

*The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick--Newberry Medal Winner, A Graphic Novel, has 284 pages of illustrations so the "book" reads like a black and white film with pictures aiding the storyline. My husband, and children (including four year old son) are totally captivated with this one...good enough to motivate children to be all ready for bed just to listen/see to a chapter or two.

*The Wizard Heir by Cinda Williams Chima
Joe and I are reading this book together (and so I promised not to read ahead). We listened to the first book, The Warrior Heir, on audio book shortly after Susannah was born and liked it. It is about a group of people with special powers who live alongside us mere mortals...no, it is not Harry Potter and it is well written.
