Some recent books I’ve been reading post-HP6:

Pure Dead Magic and Pure Dead Wicked
by Debi Gliori
Ages 10 to 14, Grade 5-8
A fun series that I kept seeing kids check out so I finally took one home — and then immediately had to read the next one as well. A fun mix of magic and high-tech in the vein of Artemis, but quicker, simpler and funnier I guess. My favorite was when the pet rats end up being sent through the modem. Looks like I’ll have to go find Pure Dead Brilliant and Pure Dead Trouble!


Not a Girl Detective : A Cece Caruso Mystery
by Susan Kandel
Mom sent this one and I am definitely going to have to pass it along to BobbiLynn next (aka the biggest Nancy Drew fan I know). I think I’ll have to track down the first one, I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason.

And I finally finished my Pimsleur Hebrew lessons in the car, so I’m back to listening to stories there now for a while on the commute.
