I haven’t been reading a lot of classics lately. I’ve been reading a lot of books by modern authors – which is okay, but I started wanting something more. It’s like when you’ve been eating out a lot, but you just want some good home cooking – something you’re familiar and comfortable with. So I want back to E. Phillips Oppenheim. He never disappoints me. I’m reading Havoc. Some papers which are very important to the national security of England have disappeared. Can Bellamy find them before enemy agents do? Classic Oppenheim. Many of his books are free on Kindle. If you enjoy mystery and suspense, you will enjoy his books.

16-year-old daughter – Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

14-year-old son – Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

12-year-old son – LEGO Minifigure Year by Year: A Visual History by Gregory Farshtey. Anyone who like legos would enjoy this book. I’ve enjoyed sitting and flipping through it.

10-year-old daughter – Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods by Suzanne Collins. If you would like a review of this book, my daughter wrote one here.

9-year-old daughter – Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. This is her first time. She’s heard plenty about the books from her siblings though. I’m glad she’s finally getting some first-hand knowledge.

7-year-old son – One Morning in Maine by Robert McCloskey. One day I asked Micah to go get a book we hadn’t read in a long time. I was actually hoping for something we hadn’t read in a loooong time – not just a couple of weeks – but I guess when you’re seven two weeks is long. We still enjoyed it though. In case you’ve never read this book, you find out what a loose tooth, a bad spark plug and ice cream cones have in common.

3-year-old son – Life Size Zoo by Teruyuki Komiya. I borrowed this from the library and my little boys love it. Life-size photos of wild animals. Now admittedly some of the animals are too big to fig in even an oversized book with fold out pages. So off to the side is the silhouette of the animal with a box around the part of the animal that is being shown. Really, really cool book.

2-year-old son – Hey! Wake Up! by Sandra Boynton. We enjoy Boynton’s books. The rhymes trip off your tongue and are fun to read which is good because you’ll be reading them so much you’ll have them memorized.
