I Can Read Books For Pleasure!

Thanks to two dear friends--one is our librarian, and the other, the 7th grade English teacher with whom I share book interests--I have three books to read over the break:

• The Diary of Pelly D by L. J. Adlington
• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
  
• Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

I have a few of my own at home to read, too. I have East of Eden by Steinbeck and Pillars of the Earth by Follet collecting dust by my bed, but I think I'll start off with something lighter. Normally that would be some Christmas romance--who doesn't like to find true love at Christmas time--but I suppose I've been saved by a young adult book instead.

I'm certain my spirit will be restored over the long winter break once I get some fresh literature to quench my stifled brain. I need a fix so badly I could cry.
