Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire

This is such a fun how to book for teaching children. It is a non-fiction book about a teacher in Los Angeles. I recommend it to any teacher, public school or homeschool, as long as they realize that this is one of those take from it what you can and leave the rest or you will be overwhelmed. It really seems humanly impossible to do what this man has done in one lifetime, but he has, just not while raising 5 kids, serving in young women's and running a household all at the same time.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin

I started reading this book, another one on the BBC "classic" list that I got from the library. I don't remember exactly what happened but I know I stopped reading it, gave it a one star and got rid of it immediately, so I'm assuming it has some illicit content and that as soon as I came across it, I closed the book and was done.

Knife of Never Letting Go

The librarian recommended this book after I told him that I liked The City of Ember, he said it was another dystopian society book that a lot of the teens like. I started it and really liked the story, but I really didn't like the language, so I stopped reading it after a while. I actually got fairly far into the book, because I liked it, but I just didn't like bad language, so it just didn't work for me.
