Latest reads

Last Resort by Linwood Barclay -- a funny, poignant memoir about the author's growing up running a campground in rural Canada with his family.
 
Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger - a re-read, one of my all time favorites.
 
The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I'm stuck halfway through. I don't know if I'll be able to make it all of the way.
 
The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry - a fun kid's book
 
Scat by Carl Hiaasen -- another great teen book by Hiaasen, whose Hoot appears on lots of school reading lists. I really enjoyed this one.
 
Origins of the Specious by Patricia T O'Conner and Stewart Kellerman - fun to page through and learn the origins of certain words and conventions of language
 
Dying to Meet You: 43 Old Cemetery Road, Book 1 by Kate and M. Sarah Klise - thanks to Trisha for this kid's book recommendation. Enjoyed it a lot.
