Weekly Reading Recap & FrightFall Readathon

(Before It's News)

      

Good morning. I hope you had a great week. I had fun celebrating Banned Books Week last week. I posted several reviews of banned books throughout the week. On the weekend, I went to a local corn maze with my family. We had a great time going through their two mazes and finding all the stations hidden in the corn stalks! It's definitely starting to feel like fall!

Reviews and Blog Posts

Reading
I finished reading Accidents of Marriage: A Novel by Randy Susan Meyers, a contemporary family drama. Now I'm about halfway through A Dangerous Fiction: A Mystery by Barbara Rogan.

I'm participating in the FrightFall Readathon this week. It's hosted by Michelle at Seasons of Reading. I plan to finish A Dangerous Fiction and then start another thriller ~ either This Dark Road to Mercy by Wiley Cash or The Killer Next Door by Alex Marwood. I'm thinking the latter sounds like the best choice for a scary read since Stephen King called it “Scary as hell.”

Kids Reading
C read Guys Read: Other Worlds last week. He really enjoyed it and it introduced him to several new authors. He also read Turn Left at the Cowby Lisa Bullard. He really liked that one too, which is good since it was a random pick from the library! M is still reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1 by Jeff Kinney, and she's been reading lots of picture books for her reading homework.

What are you reading this week? It's Monday! is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, so hop over there if you'd like to see what others are reading too. You can also check out the younger version of It's Monday!
