Our sweet and amazing sister, Laura Bingham has written and published her first novel,
Alvor! The sequel is already in the works! I'm not at all surprised that she has the talent to do it, but, don't ask me how she found time! She is the busy mother of 5 and has her own business and dance studio where she teaches clogging etc.. I haven't read the book yet, but it looks fantastic and has great reviews! I'm sure it will be added to the list of our favorites! If you are interested , it can be purchased through Amazon.com. I don't know how to post a link or picture of the book (I'm still pretty much computer illiterate!), but check it out!
Here are a few more of our favorite books right now...
We all LOVED the Olsen's version of "The BOX"! We can't wait to find a copy to add to our library --- and a good box to play in!
Meagan LOVES "Good Night Moon". We read it at least 10 times a day... She really loves all books and has since she was tiny, but just recently she has started to love the STORIES! Not just the pointing at the pictures and turning the pages!
Amy loves books about fairies and princesses! She has read almost all of the "Rainbow Magic Fairies" series and lots of other...
Joseph loves mysteries! He reads the "A to Z Mystery" books, "Cam Jansen", "Geronimo Stilton", and he is currently enjoying "Indian in the Cupboard"!
Sarah really likes books by Andrew Clements and has read lots of them and lots of others...
One of Rebecca's favorites is "The Anybodies" by N. E. Body. She also just finished "A Wrinkle in Time" for a book report and really liked it.
Spencer just read "Apollo 13". He liked it... Pretty technical, but a good book! One of his favorites is "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card.
Janelle has just read "A Raisin in the Sun" for her English class. It is NOT her favorite. She liked the Twilight series, but she is not an addict like some girls her age. She loves to escape with a good suspenseful romantic comedy!
One of Eric's all time favorites is "The Veil of Snows" by Mark Helpring. He has been reading "The Tale of Despereaux" to the kids and he just discovered "Skippy jon Jones"... a new family favorite, especially if Dad will read!
I can't pick favorites! I'm sure "Alvor" will be up there once my copy gets here! Janelle just gave me "The Truth about Forever" for Mother's Day and I look forward to reading it. To tell the truth, I mostly just read to and with my kids. But I love that and I am so glad that the all LOVE to read! What a gift!
I would love to hear what some of your favorites are! Happy Reading!
