July Reads

I had such fun with the suggestions from the librarian that I tried it again.


Run by Ann Patchett This is a story about a family. The couple is able to have one child but desires to have more. They adopt two African American boys that are also brothers. Later the father is the mayor of Boston. The story takes place after the mother has died and the boys are now in college. They attend a political event with their father and when they are seperating to go to their cars a car swerves out of nowhere and is headed straight for one of the boys. Another woman sees this potential disaster and steps in front of the car. She is severely injured and is taken to the ER. Her daughter also witnesses this act. What unfolds for the rest of the book is quite the adventure.


Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George This is a story about girl named Creel. Her family is to poor to take care of her so they send her off to a rumored dragons lair in hopes that a knight will save her. The rumor turns out to be true but the dragon doesn't want to fight a knight for her. Plus, the dragon is not sure a knight will come. The dragon and girl become friends. He grants her a gift and she picks an unusual pair of shoes. (thus the title) And so the story begins.
Dragon Flight #2
Dragon Spear#3 These books are found in the children's section of the library and are quick fun read. I enjoyed them


Fortune's Folly by Deva Fagan This story is about a girl who doesn't believe in fortune tellers. After unfortunate happenings in her own family she is trained to tell fortunes/lies. She is quite talented because she is such a storyteller. She tells the prince his fortune and then is forced to accompany him on his grand adventure to make sure the fortune comes true. Fun read.



Happy Reading!
