Karen’s Book Nook

I actually read quite a bit this month, thanks to NOT having to spend every waking hour on the assessment for work and also because I listened to some audio books (instead of just podcasts) while getting things done around the house.

This post is also is part of the Weekly Geek assignment, Catching Up, for Week 6. Since I don’t post reviews on my site, rather just give a few anecdotal notes with each entry in my Now Reading Library, I’m wrapping up my reading list for the month here and catching up. This is what I read in May: (Best part is… school’s almost out so there will be even more time for reading coming up!!)

• The Messenger by Lois Lowry
• Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry
  
• The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo
• Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron
• A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel
• Making Autism A Gift by Robert Evert Cimera
• The Elements of Organic Gardening by HRH Prince Charles of Wales
• Mac OS X Leopard for Dummies
• A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
• Teacher Man by Frank McCourt
• Wicked by Gregory Maguire
• Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen
• The 6th Target by James Patterson
• Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
• The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve

I’m not sure where I heard about this book or if the cover just caught my eye in the new section of the library, but I’m reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It’s all about thinking positively and living the life of your dreams.
