- Wonder<\/em> by R.J. Palacio<\/strong>
\nThe story of a 5th Grade boy with craniofacial abnormalities due to a rare genetic disorder. August goes to school for the first time and learns that middle schoolers can be cruel and kind and awful and awesome. Or something like that. I wasn’t a huge fan. Read my full review here<\/a><\/li>\n- Rose Under Fire<\/em> by Elizabeth Wein<\/strong>
\nFirst, she witnesses a plane going down. A fellow air transport auxillary pilot made a heroic attempt and failed. Then she makes her own heroic attempt, and she goes down–escorted into Germany where she ends up in Ravensbruck, a witness to horrific events. This is undoubtedly the best book I’ve read so far this year–and likely one of the best I’ll read all year. If I haven’t already convinced you to read it, check out my full review<\/a>.<\/li>\n- Little House on the Prairie<\/em> by Laura Ingalls Wilder<\/strong>
\nI re-read this for Barbara’s Laura Ingalls Wilder Reading Challenge<\/a> and in conjunction with the Reading to Know Classic Book Club<\/a>–and found my experience reading it very different this time. I’ve become much more sensitive to the interactions between Ma and Pa–and to the reality that the family was illegally squatting on land that wasn’t their own in hopes that it would soon be available for settlement.<\/li>\n- Four children’s picture books, author BO<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Betty Crocker’s Bread Machine Cookbook<\/em><\/strong>
\nI’ve never had good success with bread prepared and baked<\/i> in the bread machine (I don’t have a problem with the dough cycle), but I wanted to try again. The buttermilk white bread turned out perfectly–so I’m eager to try a few more recipes (maybe I can get a good whole wheat loaf?)<\/li>\n- The Garden Primer<\/em> by Barbara Damrosch<\/strong>
\nI started my peppers and tomatoes last night, and am eager to have a successful garden this year (crossing fingers.)<\/li>\n- The Black Moth<\/em> by Georgette Heyer<\/strong>
\nI just barely started this, thinking I wanted some more fiction–but the projects and nonfiction have kept me busy, so I’ve stalled.<\/li>\n- Program Your Baby’s Health<\/em> by Barbara Luke and Tamara Eberlein<\/strong>
\nBecause I’m interested in seeing how the prenatal program prepared by Luke and Eberlein (of Harvard School of Public Health) stacks up to my own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI’ve also picked up The Little White Horse<\/i> by Elizabeth Goudge, which I’ll be reading along with the Reading to Know Classic Book Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n
