I finished this book before going away on my holidays but I haven't had the chance to write about it until now. Heroic Measures by Jill Ciment was interesting not one I would recommend it didn't really have an ending. It was about a dog who was old and very sick and the couple who owned it would do anything for her.

While away I started to read Columbine by Dave Cullen

Jodi Picoult

This book, Handle With Care, is not on my Oprah book list but someone lent it to me and I do love Picoult's books, like her other ones I couldn't put this one down, like her other ones it is a controversial book. This book deals with whether to abort a baby with a disability or not, which disability is more worthy than others. I was able to see all the characters point of view of the issues they have to deal with. It also shows what the family members have to deal with by having a daughter/sister with a disability and their daily routines. I definitely recommend it and would like to see your thoughts on it too.

My next book is Heroic Measures by Jill Ciment.

Ernest

I have finished book number 4: Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. It was about his life told by him as he was living in Paris in the 1920's. I got to "meet" some of his friends and other noble writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald. Hemingway definitely enjoyed his alcohol and drank at every possible time he could find. He also enjoyed going to the track to see the horses.

My next book to read is Jodi Picoult's newest book Handle With Care.

Bzzzz

Plan Bee was definitely an interesting book especially if you like bees. It is basically a book all about the facts of bees, honey and beekeeping. If you are interested in becoming a beekeper this book would be very useful, unfortunately that is not my calling in life. I did learn a lot about it and I will see bees in a different way from now on, but I think I am ready for another type of book so the next one on my list to read is A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemmingway it is his biography.

I have finished Camilla as my summer reading program progresses. I am down 2 and 23 to go. Camilla was an interesting story about a 15 year old girl living in Manhattan New York in the 1950's. She is learning a lot in this year about her family and love and the world around her. She had to mature quite quickly to deal with everything around her and yet she is still a child.

My next book is Plan Bee by Susan Brackney, after picking it up from the library I realized right away that this may be a tougher read for me as it is not a novel but more of a book about honeybees and bees in general. Hopefully I can learn a bit about these busy little creatures.

It didn't take me long to finish my first book of the summer. I finished it last night and I have already picked up,thanks to the library, my next choice to start tonight. Camilla by Madeleine L'Engle. I am not sure what this one is about but will try to be as excited to read it as I was with the last one.

Yes, My Darling Daughter was a very captivating book and kept me wanting more. Although at one point I thought I may have read too much too late in the night as I ended up dreaming about it and couldn't get back to sleep. It is quite an intense book full of mystery and wondering what will happen next. It seemed very real like watching some of the CSI episodes.

Summer Book Reading

I have decided to take Oprah up on her summer book club, she has a list of 25 books that she says you can't put down so I thought that it is a good start for me. I am trying to get most of them from the library but since summer has started today I went to Chapters to get my first read. I am starting with Yes, My Darling Daughter by Margaret Leroy. I will be going to New Brunswick for a week in July so I am hoping to get a lot of reading done driving there and in the early mornings before we head off for the day. My goal is to at least get through 1 book a week and see how that goes.
