You're going to LOVE The Host! I'm planning on re-reading it next month with a reading group. I'm reading Water For Elephants right now and I'm loving it. I'm also about half way through Eclipse...again...for the, who knows what time. I've lost track.<br /><br />Great summer goal!!! If I know the Texas Darlings like I think I do, then you guys will definitely reach your goal!<br /><br />Hope you're having a great week!♥jennykate77https://www.blogger.com/profile/06148466048132599366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016045772706868762.post-52073419434531444502010-07-19T20:53:34.640-05:002010-07-19T20:53:34.640-05:00I am not a huge reader, but the kids have read abo...I am not a huge reader, but the kids have read about that many books this summer so far too.

There is also a WONDERFUL book by Julie Andrews called Mandy (Yes, THAT Julie Andrews).<br /><br />You should read The Egg & I by Betty McDonald and A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith. They are 2 of my very favorites in the whole world!<br /><br />I'm getting ready to start the Left Behind series.

And I got caught up with other things. Need to get back to that, thanks for the nudge!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517881134257975071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016045772706868762.post-65098593113228910102010-07-09T12:37:40.967-05:002010-07-09T12:37:40.967-05:00What an awesome summer goal...I love it!

I have a friend that does a reading time nightly with her family. After dinner, they ALL go to their spots and read for about 30 minutes, sounds a lot like your plan. I'm going to start implementing this plan asap...so I can get some reading done too.<br /><br /><br />So glad you are enjoying your vacation!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118384032396970899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016045772706868762.post-2812186958630503392010-07-09T12:29:58.371-05:002010-07-09T12:29:58.371-05:00I love that you are reading kids books!

I'd have more time if I could get mail tail in bed earlier. I do want to ready My Fair Lazy because it sounds like what I'm going through now, being more well-rounded. I'm getting ready to read I, Alex Cross by James Patterson...love him. I love Janet Evanovich too! Oh and I'm on reserve for The Help.
