I have been reading youth books all Summer and Fall. I was totally hooked on The Droughtlanders series by Carrie Mac. You may not have heard of this author as she is Canadian, but totally worth checking out; and of course like everyone else in the universe I'm stuck on the Twilight series. And now this! <abbr><em>Coris last blog post..<a href="http://sahmbles.blogspot.com/2008/10/indy-jones.html" rel="nofollow">Indy Jones</a></abbr></em> <strong>Well, I'll check out that Droughtlanders series.

Well, I’ll check out that Droughtlanders series. I just bought Twilight and am TOTALLY hooked. A love story with vampires just “sucked me in,” so to speak.

I’m often the same way! I try not to see a movie until I’ve read the book–and sometimes after reading it I refuse to see the movie.
And, of course I want to get kids reading :wink: ! It’s my job!
