i was thinking about reading the book for this month, but the public libraries don't like me. I have an overdue book... it was due in October... of 2003.
BUT I am reading. I've reread Born Confused, and I'm going to make another attempt at Jane Eyre. I'm going to florida on friday with a bunch of kids from my youth group... DRIVING. it'll be a 25 hour trip, so i'll probably get through Jane Eyre.
what is everyone else reading? Chels, Kailei?

June--Chanda's Secrets
Hello All!!
It's summer and that means fun reading! I am jealous of all of you being off of school. Anyways this month we will be reading and discussing Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton, Chanda Kabelo, a sixteen-year-old in a small South African town, faces down shame and stigma in her efforts to help friends and family members who are dying of AIDs. I encourage you to go the public library to check it out.
I enjoyed it and look forward to hearing what you think. A book guide will be posted in the next couple of days.
I also know that there were more people interested in the online book club that didn't get there applications in, so if you know of friends that still want to get involved please tell them to drop me an email recbec@mail.holmen.k12.wi. us.
Happy reading!!
P.S. I am listening to Bras and Broomsticks which I think some of you would enjoy. Rachel, a 14-year-old girl finds out her mother and sister are witches, but she is not. Right now Rachel is trying to figure out how she can get her sister to use her magic to help Rachel and get rid of their future step-mother. The author's style kind of reminds me of Meg Cabot.
