Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to have some free time to read this new series I just discovered - they are murder mysteries set in a little town in Illinois - and the woman who solves them all is a school psychologist! I found them about a month ago when one of my other favorite authors recommended them. So far I have read six - and I just started the seventh today!

When I'm done, I may have to go back and re-read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in preparation for the final movie's release on July 15th...can't wait!

After that, the next book in the pile on my nightstand is Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise. It was on the RICBA list last year, but I never got to it. If anyone has read it and can give me a quick review, I'd love to hear it! Keep on Reading :)

Hi Everyone,
I know that sometimes when I'm trying to decide on a new book to read, it can be overwhelming with so many choices!  Here's a link that you can go to to look for books based on genre or area of interest.

Mrs. Brochu asked me to read this book over the summer because she read it and was not able to put it down. I'm not usually a fan of Jodi Picoult books, but so far this one is an intersting read. The book is about a boy named Jacob who has Asperger's Syndrome. Many children with Asperger's have a specific topic they like - Jacob likes forensic science (solving crimes). The cool thing about the book is each main character in the book is written in a different font so you know who is being written about at a particular time. I'll let you know how it goes.
