summer reading

I'm starting to think about my Maine get together with old friends and time for enjoying the quiet mornings with fresh coffee and a great book. I've started reading some of the DCF reading list books, and I will alternate those with some of my own choices, including Ireland which will immerse me in Irish history and storytelling tradition.













First we have to finish school - graduation dance tonight, awards assembly tomorrow, boat launch and graduation Wednesday, field day Thursday, and more awards and step-up on Friday. It's such a frenetic pace, but that's what makes the thought of those book-filled mornings so appealing.

I will head upstairs now to finish Into the Dark, by Peter Abrahams, and hope that this author has many more mysteries to invent. The Echo Falls Mystery series is a refreshing addition for middle school readers who previously found little to pursue after mastering the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew.
