What We’re Reading: Mid-January Report

Z-Baby (9):

Also various picture books, such as Corduroy by Don Freeman, Gregory, the Terrible Eater by Mitchell Sharmat and others.
Listening to: The Calder Game by Blue Balliett.
Read aloud book: The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis.

Betsy-Bee (11):
For school: The Great Railroad Race by Kristiana Gregory, Make Way for Sam Houston by Jean Fritz.

Karate Kid (13):
For school: Dragon’s Gate by Laurence Yep.
Garfield cartoon books for fun.

Brown Bear Daughter (16):
For school: Dante’s Inferno, House of Mirth by Edith Wharton. (No, ther’s no relationship between the two selections as far as I know. She just has to read them both.)
Leisure reading: Heist Society by Ally Carter. She also dips into various Harry Potter books that she’s already read several times while she eats supper or lunch or snack or . . .

Drama Daughter (19): Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Artiste Dughter (21): Neither Five Nor Three by Helen MacInnes, A Circle of Quiet by Madeleine L’Engle.

Computer Guru Son (23): Consider Phlebas by Ian M. Banks.

Eldest Daughter (25): God Is Near Us: The Eucharist, the Heart of Life by Pope Benedict XVI.

Engineer Husband and Father: The God Who Is There by D.A. Carson, Desiring God by John Piper.

Me: The books I’ve recently finished are mostly already reviewed here. My books-in-progress include The Eye of the Elephant: An Epic Adventure in the African Wilderness by Delia and Mark Owens, The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy, Churchill’s Secret Agent by Max and Linda Ciampoli, and Island of the World by Michael D. O’Brien. Yes, I am reading all of those books at the same time.

We’re a fairly eclectic family, wouldn’t you say?

  1. Fun post! I like seeing what everyone else in the house is reading as well.

    I have The Hunger Games on my stack to read in February. I’m outside of some club about it and am working to catch up! ;D
