Didn’t get much reading in this month at all. I wrapped-up the school year and I’ve been so busy catching up around the house and yard since I got out on June 18th. I’m hoping that July will be more productive; it usually is, until training camp starts, that is. Then… there will be zero time left for reading until my one week vacation in which I do little EXCEPT read!
Here’s my pathetic list for June:
The Guy Not Taken: Stories by Jennifer Weiner
Visual Supports for People with Autism: A Guide for Parents and Professionals by Marlene J Cohen
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 didn’t get nearly as much reading in as I would have liked last month due to being busy with the Assessment, setting up this blog and other things but I did manage to squeak out a few, mostly on April school vacation. The assessment is due this coming week so hopefully May will be better for me!
- A Perfect Day (Richard Paul Evans)
- The Locket (Richard Paul Evans)
- Aquamarine (Alice Hoffman)
- Good Dog. Stay. (Anna Quindlen)
- Merle’s Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog (Ted Kerasote)
Thought I would finish Wicked but alas kept falling asleep and didn’t make it until this morning.
