What I'm reading on a Tuesday

Hello!
http://www.teachmentortexts.com/2014/06/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-6914.html#axzz34FGzUqzE
Wait, you might say. It's not Monday, it's Tuesday. And I would answer, yes, but it's summer. And really, who can argue with that?

I am reading this great summer read book --


{Please don't google Silver Girl, because apparently that's a "thing" - a bunch of things I'd rather not see!}
Anyway, to me, this book is a fictional version of Bernie Madoff's wife. And in this book, nobody wants to talk to her, or help her, or anything, except for one old high school friend whom she hasn't talked to in 3 years. I'm enjoying reading this book at night until I get too tired to read any more.

This is on my Kindle:



yes, the title is so tiny that who can read it? It's "Composing Amelia." Amelia is a young woman who wants to be a concert pianist. Her husband wants to be a pastor and he gets a job offer in Nebraska. Well, that's all the further I've gotten because I've only been reading this when I've been waiting. 

I love my Kindle!

 

 It fits right in my purse and is light weight, so when I get stuck some where, I can just pull it out and start reading!

I'm also reading this:



still, for my summer class. It's a bit thought provoking, but I definitely wouldn't be reading it except for this class. 

I have not gotten to my own stack of professional development books yet. Crossing my fingers for this week. 

And that's what I'm reading!

What I'm Reading

What ya reading?

I saw this over at Books First in Maine, and of course, I was thinking "I wanna play!" so here's what's going on in my little head:


Very much a summer read! Easy on the brain!


We bought my daughter a Kindle Fire for her birthday, so I'm reading this off her old-fashion Kindle. {And I keep accidentally turning the pages!} Apparently, I'm gonna cry as I read this book. I don't know. But I do find it a good read - I'm enjoying turning the pages on it.

And I've taken a week break from school related stuff, so now I'm ready to do some thinking - this is one of my choices.

And I will probably need to start this because it's for my online class that starts today, LOL.

I am not reading any children's books. I think I need to go shopping first. I like Books First in Maine's suggestion of Popeye and Elvis. I've put that on my wish list.

And a funny aside - College Girl is taking a Speech class out at the community college and they had to read a book out loud last week. She picked:




One of my favs - I read it every year at the beginning of school. 

Are you reading anything fun? Wanna share?
