Sticky Notes

Books and Bikinis Reading Challenge - read 10 books about mermaids, the sea, the beach...by the end of the summer! hopefully soon!
(7 out of 10 read)

Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

What Should We Read? (1)


A few variations on this meme are out there, all of which are fun to read just for the suggestions that come pouring in.
We would love suggestions too, and have a few ideas for how we'll pick what to read:
1. There are two of us, so two comments will be picked randomly.
2. We'll have 1 month (30 days) to read our books.
3. May we suggest you look at what got a B+ or better so you know what we already enjoy. In that same line, you might want to look at our Cs - we're not big fans of those books. :)
4. Any book counts no matter when it was published, although we reserve the right to say no to your book. (I can't imagine too many reasons to do this.)

So get commenting!

I just love your blog. Reading is an passion of mine.

Two of my all time favorites - oldies but goodies. (You may have already read them, but they tend to be rather obscure). Journey Outside by Mary Q. Steele - 1970 Newbery Honor (and inspiration for City of Ember?). and The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh. You know I could give you oodles of ideas but these are two for today.

Sorry Jenny, I was logged in under my library blogger ID. 2112 was really me. Fun idea, it will be interesting to see what you pick.

This scares me a lot. I don't like recommending books because it is like putting a part of myself out there. Plus, you and I have similar tastes, but just dissimilar enough I am not sure.

Anyway, after much thought: Have you read the Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs? It is an intriguing concept and I would be interested to see your take on it. The first book is Moon Called. Book Number 2, but you have probably read it, Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale.

Hm. I'm gonna go with THE QUEEN OF ATTOLIA by Megan Whalen Turner. I know you've read THE THIEF, but I wasn't sure about the sequel.
