I took a break from reading 'there is no me without you' while on my vacation up north. It is an intense book about AIDS/HIV in Africa and how one woman turns her home into a home for orphans and why. I really enjoy it but it is a book that requires alertness :)
I finished while I was away Full Disclosure by Dee Henderson
I have read her O'Malley series a few years ago. And really enjoyed it. I am not normally one that reads crime type/murder/mystery type books but I have enjoyed everything that I have read by this author. I know when I was reading the O'Malley series I needed to stop part way and read something else, just to give my brain a break from the crime stuff. But overall it is a book I didn't want to put down and found myself many evenings while away stretched out on the couch reading with Mugsy the cat purring beside me.
The read aloud that I am reading with CO these days is AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh.
A book I purchased in the last few months for CO is Press Here. He really enjoys it and thinks it is funny.
Here is a blurb from Amazon about it:
Press the yellow dot on the cover of this book, follow the instructions within,
and embark upon a magical journey! Each page of this surprising book instructs
the reader to press the dots, shake the pages, tilt the book, and who knows what
will happen next! Children and adults alike will giggle with delight as the dots
multiply, change direction, and grow in size! Especially remarkable because the
adventure occurs on the flat surface of the simple, printed page, this unique
picture book about the power of imagination and interactivity will provide
read-aloud fun for all ages!
We had the book up North with us this past vacation and I found the bigger kids (9,11 & 13)following the insturctions and embarking on the journey of the dots :)
