What are you reading? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

To go along with a trip to Disneyland next week, I read The Disneyland Encyclopedia (by Chris Strodder), which has interesting stories behind the rides, past and present, including the ones that were never built.

On the graphic novel front, I recently started reading The Goon: Nothin' But Misery (Eric Powell) in a comic book store, and I started laughing so much that I had to buy it. Just my brand of pitch-black humor. I'll probably pick up the rest of the series at Comic Con.

Finally, I bought The Complete Bone (Jeff Smith) to read down in San Diego. That book's huge!

I just finished reading Harry Potter 1 (Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone) for school. Good book, what a nostalgiabomb

I've got a bunch of books on the go right now, but I'm mainly reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. (Fifth book in the series) It's really good.

The Diary of Ellen Rimbaur (My Life at Rose Red). The house itself is in Tacoma and is an inn (Thornewood Castle)

The Cry of the Loon- an American Girl Mystery. I started it while waiting at the airport last Saturday. Read some while on layover too. And again while on my way back home on Monday. And read some more on Wednesday when I was trying to cool off by the river. Good book, I love virtually all the AG books, especially the ones about Samantha, which this one is. I've just been so robbed of sleep lately due to excitement over the Con and then the heat and then dread about returning to work, I tend to get sleepy after reading a few chapters, and end up dozing off.

So although the book isn't real thick, I'm not finished with it yet. Almost though, I think I have three chapters to go.

M'kay - done with previous book mentioned. Now I am reading a historical book (Silverton Colorado) called "Faces of the Flu." It is a historical account how one small mining town was affected by the flu of 1918.

Oooh, that's just the type of historical book I like! I bet it's fascinating. I do know many of the horrors that went down that year. And the mass graves that are still being discovered today.
