Finally finished Christy, after taking all Summer to read it. I didn't like the ending. I much liked David more than the doctor, but oh well. Cute book though.
On Monday, I read To Kill A Mockingbird. I loved that book. It was amazing. What I didn't get was the title, it really had nothing to do with the book or story what so ever but I don't care. Awesome book and it deserves an awesome title.
On Tuesday I read From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg. Really cute book about two kids who decide to run away from home and live in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. They eventually wind up trying to figure out a mystery. The whole book is written from Mrs. Frankweiler's point of view as a letter to her lawyer. It's a great book and really easy read.
On Wednsday, I read, A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck. Another real easy read as well as entertaining. This book follows 15 year old Mary Alice who goes to spend a year with her grandmother in the middle of know where Illinois while her father looks for a job during the depression. What makes it interesting is her grandmother. She's someone you never know what to expect from her, about anything. You make think you know her, but then she goes and proves you wrong again. I liked it, but it was a little slow for me.
Today I read Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli. I really like this book. It is about Jeffrey Magee who loses his parents in a train crash when he was three, then goes and lives with his Aunt and Uncle. After 8 years of that he runs and way and shows up in a small segregated town. Jeffery is white but makes friends and lives with the black people of the East side of town. When an elderly man gets after him for being different, Jeffrey leaves and joins the west side. The book follows him as he does impossible feat after impossible feat. And the town names him Maniac Magee. Great book and an pretty easy read.
Don't know yet what I'm reading tomorrow, but I think my reading is going to slow down a little bit because I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. So will give an update when I return.
