I'd also like to get some other bonus stuff in, like German and Geography, but we'll see how that goes. <BR/><BR/>I still haven't started any of my new books yet--maybe I'll have time over the weekend.Kimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760641703294360737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12009062.post-33319009936174169892007-05-23T09:12:00.000-07:002007-05-23T09:12:00.000-07:00I'm not a fan of fantasy (or sci fi, for that matt...I'm not a fan of fantasy (or sci fi, for that matter), but I'll have to check out the Preston/Childs series. I do like mindless thrillers! <BR/><BR/>Once I got started on Devil in the White City, it was difficult for me to stop. Good thing I was on vacation at the time! :-)<BR/><BR/>Do you homeschool year round, or just to supplement in the summer time?kbeepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013307327875627823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12009062.post-60705757500815069092007-05-23T05:19:00.000-07:002007-05-23T05:19:00.000-07:00I love Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Burning Bright, her latest, not as much. <BR/><BR/>I've got Devil in the White City on the top of my "to read" pile, but don't know when I'll be able to start. I'm glad I can renew it on line! <BR/><BR/>I liked Life of Pi quite a bit. I was on a mindless thriller kick for a while, and Preston/Childs series about detective Pendergast did the trick nicely. <BR/><BR/>I've also become a huge fan of George RR Martin's Fire and Ice fantasy series (it's being developed for HBO, woo hoo!), but waiting for the next one is really hard. <BR/><BR/>Most of my reading lately has been homeschooling books, trying to get my summer plans set up. I have a feeling I'm being too ambitious with my goals, but I don't want the summer to fly by like it did last year.Kimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760641703294360737noreply@blogger.com
