Summer Reading

Just got done reading Black Swan Green by David Mitchell. A fantastic book! And well worth adding to your list. Its about Jason Taylor, a 13 yeard old kid who lives in England during the late 80s. The book covers one year of Jason's life and each chapter is dedicated to a different month. Reading it, I felt like David had just turned 14 and decided to write a book about being 13. It was real on a level that captures what being 13 felt like.

Also I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While it took me about a week to complete, I heard some had completed it within a day of receiving the book! Its as good as the rest of the series, no let down but definitely darker. Of course once you figure out that Harry....... :) Nah I won't spoil it for the few who haven't finished reading it yet. Triniwife and I each got our own copy because well we couldn't agree on who would read it first!
