Sorry, not a funny post this time. Although it does have its moments.
I have been thinking about doing a book post. The idea started when the librarian at school sent out an all school email asking for everyone's favorite book so she could make it into a list for the kids and summer reading suggestions. I thought I would make my own list of books in different categories. Unfortunately, I am not so good with remembering authors.
Keep in mind, I own all my favorites. Especially when you get to the end of the list.
Picture Books - "Happy Birthday to You" and "Oh, The Places You Will Go" both by Dr. Seuss, "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick" and "The Story of May" (The 2 Dr. Seuss books hold very special places in my heart. The both have written letters to me in them from my mom. The first one was when I was 5. The second is from when I graduated and was 30. No, not from high school)
Children's Books - "The Giver", "Charlotte's Web", "The Lightning Thief"
Favorite Young Adult series - "Among the Hidden" et all
Long Books for the summer that you read till the last 100 pages and then put down a bit because you don't ever want them to end - "Pillars of the Earth", "Scarlett"
Books that made me cry like a baby - "The Education of Little Tree", "Stone Fox" (don't even bother to put mascara on)
Best Series - The Gunslinger series by Stephen King, The Xanth series by Piers Anthony, and the Hobbit/Rings Series by Tolkein (The Xanth series is most amazing because of all the puns and plays on words.)
Most Informative Book I ever read - "My Backyard" by Douglas Waitley
Best Teaching Book - "The First Days of School" by Wong and "Educating Esme" (I read parts of the first days of school every year before I go back)
Most Inspiring Book - "Writing Toward Home" and all the Ralph Fletcher writing series
Best Love books - all the ones by Leo Buscaglia
Most Used Books - "The PDR Family Guide", "Home Remedies for Dogs and Cats", "Reef Fish Identification Guide"
Best Scuba Adventures - all the "Dirk Pitt" novels by Clive Cussler
Book Guaranteed to make me fall asleep every time - "The Wonders of Algae" and any book I currently have to read for a class
Yes, I have a book about algae. What on earth does that say about me???
So you have to share your guaranteed "sleeper" book. I am starting to get close to the end of the algae book.
