“The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity…” — A. Edward Newton
What are we reading at my house? “Twilight” (Stephenie Meyer wrote the story behind Twilight, and you will also find a draft of “Midnight Sun,” the fifth book in the series), and the “Magic Treehouse” series, a biography of the actor Paul Newman, and “The Subtle Knife,” by Phillip Pullman (another series. We like series over here, apparently).
What are you reading? Leave a note in comments, if you’d like.
Don’t forget about Multnomah County’s Summer Reading Program. This year’s program starts June 12th.
Other reading programs you should know about:
Fort Vancouver Regional Library District Summer Reading Program: Be Creative! (begins June 1)
Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program (earn a free book when you read eight)
Reading is Fundamental (RIF)
Beaverton City Library (programs for little kids and big kids, too — they want you to “Be Creative!” just like Vancouver does, and this program starts June 1, too)
Here’s to reading! Enjoy your summer and check back here for more titles, websites and updates.
Best,
Ms. Nancy
