Tonight I will be at the New Kids On The Block Concert. I am dragging the girls and Tommy with me. This is one of the things I asked for my birthday. Even though Melodye and Tommy don't really want to go, they are because it will make me happy.
I am not in hiding. I have been busy with school ending and needing to completely pack up my classroom due to being laid off and the school also closing. We also had Melodye's 9th birthday and party which meant a lot of time cleaning to get ready for the party. Tommy graduated and asked for season passes to Six Flags. We have already been to six flags three times. I discovered Sorority Life game on Facebook. Whoa Boy is that a time sucker, but fun. The girls' are doing tumbling and storytime programs every week. Those are about two hours each time. Melodye is also volunteering at the library during Brooke's story time. We also painted the living room, foyer, and hallway. Needless to say we have been busy so far this summer and somehow this blog got pushed to the wayside. But I have found time to read, as you will see below this.

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I could not put this book down. I had it finished in less than one day. The characters were easy to relate to.

Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am definitely a Sookie Stackhouse fan! I keep going back and forth between who Sookie should be with. There are so many good male choices....Sam, Quinn, Eric.

The Passerby by Thomas Ray Crowel
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
The style of this book is not one that I am used to reading. but at the same time I had to keep reading. I needed to know what happened to the little girl Trudie. I put off reading this book, because I can not stand when children are hurt. But this book did not focus on the actual details of the murder. It focused on the cover up and final investigation.

Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am thoroughly enjoying the Sookie Stackhouse books. My only problem with this one was that I read #5 before #4. Since I did that, I was a little impatient to find out things that I already knew were going to happen. I can't decide who I want Sookie to be with: Bill, Sam, or Alcide. All good choices in my book.

8th Confession by James Patterson
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
James Patterson rules when it comes to series mysteries. The deaths that occur have an unexpected twist to them. There is also a chapter showing that a certain character will be back with a vengeance. That chapter left me curious what the future plans are for that character. As always, I would recommend James Patterson's books.

I do not know why the New Moon trailer is so big. It wasn't that way when I first posted it.
Tomorrow is the last day for the kids at school. We'll see how many actually show up.
