The Golden Compass

We decided to put Look Me in the Eye on hold. The controversy swirling around the Golden Compass sparked our interest. We thought we would give it a look and come back to Look Me in the Eye a little later.

Look Me in the Eye

Our next selection is Look Me in the Eye. This book is written by a person that did not discover that he had Asperger's until he was an adult. I am sure it will prove interesting.

Various and Sundry

I would like to suggest a new thread. Why don't we comment on books that we read outside of our blog selections? Sometimes I have an opportunity to read a book in between our selections that I think you might be interested in reading - or I might not even like it and want you to not waste your money. Let's use this thread for those "extra" books.

Next Up-

Wandering through Books-A-Million I came up with three possibilities for our next selection - The Martian Child, The Devil in the Junior League, and Second Honeymoon. The first, The Martian Child, is about a child that has been in the foster system and has been categorized as "hard to place". The next, The Devil in the Junior League, sounds like it is hysterical. It is a "relationship" story but the sounds like it has a lot of laughs with some southern humor thrown in. The last, Second Honeymoon, is by Joanna Trollope. All the children leave home, the house is unnaturally quiet, mom wishes the children were back, and, guess what?, they all end up back home. You don't always want your wishes to come through. (I think this is my dream/nightmare...)

Take your pick - what are you feeling up to? Discuss it amongst yowa selves...
