You can always tell a book that Bryce has read at our house. It is at the very least torn, folded and wrinkled. Don't get me wrong, I love that he is a reader, but boy is he hard on books. He takes a book everywhere. He reads on the bus, in the car and occasionally even at home. He especially likes fantasy books like Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, but will read just about anything.
He is not the only reader in the house (just the most destructive). Ty read his first Harry Potter book this year and is now reading "Inkheart", which is the longest book he has attempted. Paige still prefers a book she can finish in a couple of days at most. She recently started reading American Girl books. She also read a book called "Clementine" that she loved. Brett loves anything that anyone will read to him, but especially funny books like "Hiccupotomus". Dave hasn't read much lately, but enjoys a good Clancy or Grisham (usually started on an airplane).
I have loved to read for as long as I can remember. I remember coming home from the local library with a stack of books bigger than I could carry and finding a comfy spot to read them all. I love libraries and book stores. I have been reading a lot of children's fantasy/fairytale type books lately. I love Shannon Hale ("Goose Girl" and "Princess Academy"), I like Gail Carson Levine ("Ella Enchanted" and "Fairest"), of course I like Harry Potter and after Bryce recently finished "Magyk" I started it. I also love, mystery/suspense type books, an occasional Biography and even a bestseller now and then. I would love suggestions for a good read!

Ha Ha--He really is hard on them!! That's amazing. What a great picture--you should scrapbook that!
I'm not really into romance novels, but Nicholas Sparks writes a good love story, and then there are the Children of the Promise and Hearts of the Children series. Those are fun, and I have finally acquired all of them!
Ashlei recommends the Leven Thumps books by Obert Skye and Nancy Farmer's books: The Sea of Trolls and The Land of the Silver Apples. Caitlin recommends the Vampirates books by Justin Somper.
I like Dean Koontz, John Saul and Patricia Cornwell. I still need to break down and read the Artemis Fowl books and some of Ashlei's other stuff.
I'm so glad kids like to read BIG books now. When I was a kid, I was afraid of a book as long as Harry Potter. That's cool he likes Fablehave..I know the guy who wrote that one! Hope you're having a good day!
