Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

I just finished this book and went and saw the movie. They were both good but so not the same. I really enjoyed the book my daughter read it the same time I did and that was so fun to discuss the chapters as we read them.
This book is full of adventure and mystery and Greek Mythology. I never studied Greek Mythology so I think this book had more mystery for me then it would for those who have studied it.
I recommend this for ages 10 on up. :) Happy reading.

Book #7

Here we go last book before our summer break. We will be reading The Note by Angela Hunt. It's a stroy about a tragic plane crash. A reporter covering the devestaing event comes in contact with a women who has a note in a plastic bag that obviously came from the crash. It said T-I love you. All is forgiven - Dad. The reporter is now trying to unfold the mystery behind the note. We will be meeting at my house on the 2nd Friday of May. We will have the summer off and come back together in September where we will have a time of fellowship and pick our new book from the ones Julie has chosen. Date Time and Place of our September meeting to be announced.

Book #6

Our next book is Beth Moore's Getting out of that Pit. This is not a bible study but a book. I have seen this at Life Way christian store. There are 2 in the valley just in case you have not been there yet. The only one I know where it is at is on state st. across from Fashion Place Mall in the same lot as the Sunflower market. Amazon.com has it used for 4.25 on up to 14.29. also the library system has copies of it. I don't know about walmart or barns and noble. Happy Reading.

Powers

Incase I forget. I contacted John B. Olson and there will be a book 2. Here is what he sent me!! It is in it's final editing. I didn't get a release date. I am so excited!!

Book #5

Our next book is Shade by John B. Olson. This book is not available in the library. Shannon and I bought it on Amazon.com. I got it used for $1.26 plus shipping which bumped it up to $5 and some change. I am not sure of our next meeting place or date yet. I believe it is Angie's turn to host. I will post a.s.a.p. on the date time and place. Happy reading.

Book #4

Book #4 looks suspenseful. I found it on the libraries web site so it is at the library. I am sure it is at the christian book stores. I have not checked Wal-Mart or Target. It is The Witness by Dee Henderson. Here is a little summary of the book...

A killer lures a murder witness out of hiding by targeting her sisters. The police chief and his two detectives--all falling in love with different sisters--make it their personal missions to keep the women safe. Facing the future will take a faith deeper than any of them currently knows.

We will not be meeting in January. It would be too soon after Christmas and family will be still visiting for some of us so you will have a little extra time to read this one. We plan to meet at Shannon's the first Friday of February. Happy reading.

Let's talk

OK so I hear that some of us are unable to make it to the meeting this Friday. Don't fear you can talk about the book here. Just post a comment and tell us what you though. Also make sure you check the blog for our next book. I will try to have it posted by Saturday morning but no later than Monday. I do have a crazy weekend ahead of me. Hope to hear all your thoughts.
