Love of Reading

Something for everyone..
My 9 year old son loves bakugan books and even the card game with all the individual Bakugan's. He's probably the most picky when it comes to finding books he will actually enjoy reading. Besides bakugan books, he loves all sorts of super hero comic books.
Stefanie Wilder-Taylor has never been one to take the conventional route. Whether financing a move to LA with only a best friend's bat mitzvah savings or accidentally freebasing cocaine, Stefanie is living proof that the unlikely can happen — usually to her. And when it does, the best response is a potent combination of pluck, luck, humor, and frequently, alcohol.
In these candid essays, Stefanie recounts how a nice Jewish girl from Queens became a Hollywood producer, writer, and mother of three, with some surprising detours along the way. From disproving her mother's "cars aren't free" refrain by going on Hollywood Squares and winning one, to signing up for a romantic sunset cruise that turns out to be a hellish fratfest staffed by a pushy pirate-attired crew, Stefanie shares her triumphs, missteps, and the many lessons learned. She reveals why it's never a good sign when your new therapist brings out a stuffed bumblebee and a whiffle ball bat, and how to outsmart a potential stalker by channeling your inner Tori Spelling. Through the good, the bad, the poignant, and the outrageous, she displays a voice that is by turns self-skewering, hopeful, and wise. It's Not Me, It's You is personal storytelling at its funniest, bravest, and most irresistible.
A DEADLY LOVE TRIANGLE Elena: beautiful and popular, the girl who can have any boy she wants.
Stefan: brooding and mysterious, desperately trying to resist his desire for Elena...for her own good.
Damon: sexy, dangerous, and driven by an urge for revenge against Stefan, the brother who betrayed him.
Elena finds herself drawn to both brothers . . .who will she choose?
When a pair of adorable kittens joins the family, Marley is so excited to have two new friends to play with that he follows the felines everywhere. But Marley is no graceful kitten. By imitating their gentle behavior, he unintentionally makes a mess all over the house and gets into big trouble for it. What did I do this time? he wonders. Marley is afraid he may have lost his number-one status in the household . . . until an unlikely pair reminds him and his family that no one's purrrrr-fect!
In a story that hilariously reveals the differences between cats and dogs, everyone's favorite misbehaving pup learns from some new friends just how special he really is.
Do you believe in Fairies? Geraldine does...
And though her family and friends don't, Gerry knows for certain that she is one.
In fact she is a VERY fairy princess!
From morning to night, Gerry does everything that fairy princesses do: she dresses in royal attire and practices her flying skills, and she is always on the lookout for problems to solve. But it isn't all pink and proper- as every real-life fairy princess knows, dirty fingernails and scabby knees are just the price you pay for a perfect day!

I love kid books...But i've got to think of myself sometimes. So I got these two books for now. When the summer reading program starts in a few days.

picture books for the week of may 3rd.
My daughter loved this book.. especially for all the open flaps on each page showing each different fairy's home. Wonderful words and pictures to this book. A little girl's favorite.
This book and story is a great adventure! My 9 year old loved this story and pictures just as much as my 5 year old did. You'll have to read this one yourself to find out more. A must read!!
I was skeptical about this book at first.. It's a very touching story about a granny and the pig she never thought she would love and care for so much.
This is a great biography on the famous Coco Chanel with wonderful illustrations too.

2 of the Best picture books..
This book is sooooo fun to read. through out the book one of the characters in the book sings very slowly and the other very fast. It was fun to read slow at some points and very fast at other times. My kids loved this book.. I highly recommend these two books. As for my reading i'm still reading The last song by nicholas sparks..I have only 10 chapters left to read. It's a great book..
This book has a very cute twist on the three little bears, little red riding hood.. and a couple others. I loved the illustrations and the words in this book.
