And after I left my commant, he thought of Ron and Hermione, too! It was a fun list to consider.<br /><br />I read Half Brother a few weeks and LOVED it also! Here's my review:<br />http://greatbooksforkidsandteens.blogspot.com/2010/10/teenya-review-half-brother.html<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-88365794575946229162010-12-01T20:44:50.818-05:002010-12-01T20:44:50.818-05:00BTW-I just got done reading Half Brother by Kennet...BTW-I just got done reading Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel...LOVE it!

Jamaica! We went to Oregon...an...I'm jealous. Jamaica! We went to Oregon...and it rained. Ha!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments about Top Literary characters you'd like for friends. I like your husband's idea of Tom Sawyer (or Huck Finn), though I'd be afraid they'd give me a snake for a present. Though Lizbeth Salander would be a loyal friend I don't think I could deal with her sullen, keep-to-herself attitude. BTW, my hubby and I went to the artsy theatre in town and saw the films of all three of the books in the Dragon Tattoo series (Done in Sweden so had to read the English subtitles.) Excellent. I was shocked at how few people who created similar lists had characters from Hunger Games-I decided against Katniss but think Peeta would be a good choice. I completely overlooked any of the Harry Potter characters (how'd I do that?) but they were very popular choices on others' lists.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-30320510820738811332010-11-30T17:03:46.752-05:002010-11-30T17:03:46.752-05:00Audrey -

We could use a quiet reading weekend ourselves (though of course we enjoyed our vacation). The combination of book, music, and language sounds like fun!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-63958289148770494362010-11-30T11:35:58.702-05:002010-11-30T11:35:58.702-05:00What a fun Thanksgiving!

The...That is a fantastic Thanksgiving you all had. These are some great reads you caught up on as well :}. Thanks for sharing your photos and story. My family and I had a snowy Thanksgiving, which was nice because we all stayed quiet and also got some reading done. My daughter started on a new one we just got called, <a href="http://www.matthewgollub.com/jazz2.html" rel="nofollow"> Jazz Fly 2</a> by Matthew Gollub. What's great about this one is that the author performs Latin jazz on a cd and has also written a fun little story that includes easy to learn Spanish phrases. So our household was all about fun music and learning a new language that day.audreygeddeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774928331391531323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-9231103569786308912010-11-29T16:37:56.596-05:002010-11-29T16:37:56.596-05:00Sounds like the perfect holiday - happy reading!Sounds like the perfect holiday - happy reading!Mareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928083444845381275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-67128148097040461302010-11-29T16:14:47.685-05:002010-11-29T16:14:47.685-05:00It sounds like you had a wonderful vacation!

Pictures are awesome.<br /><br />Not familiar with most of your titles this week so I will be around to read your reviews. Have a great week (although it is going to be hard to top last week).Jan von Harzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911676835023825470noreply@blogger.com
