All the Broken Pieces by Ann E. Burg - so excited to read this story of an adopted boy from war torn Vietnam. What excited me most is that it is written in poetry verse!
The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien- This I am a little skeptical about, but Mr. Shaw is pushing it on me! I love the Lord of the Rings movies (okay loved is a strong word- I cried that says something, right?) So out of respect for Mr. Shaw and all the boys who love Lord of the Rings I am taking on the Hobbit. I'm thinking it might be a good read-aloud for my two young nephews who are joining me down the Cape next week! Two birds-one stone- book for them and book for me- check!
"A little skeptical" about Tolkien? The horror.
