June Book: Little Princes

The book that Mom has chosen for June is Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal by Conor Grennan.

I have the audio on hold from the library and am still seeking out a print version.

May Book: The Hangman's Daughter

From Dad:

I learned my lesson after choosing the last book. This time I am choosing a book I have actually read. The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch.

Available in book and CD from SL County library.

Good detective story set in 1600's Germany. Minimal bad language, though a little graphic at times (torture).

Alternate:

Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. 

One of the best books I have read in a long time. Understandable how it strongly contributed to the Civil War.

April Book: My Name is Asher Lev

The book for April, chosen by Julie, is My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok.

Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to get this book in electronic format from the library, and probably won't be able to for another 12-15 weeks. I cannot find it anywhere else. So, paper is probably going to be the only option for a while.

March Book: The Giver

Sarah's choice for the month of March is The Giver by Lois Lowry.

The epub is now in the dropbox. The rest of the series, consisting of The Messenger, Gathering Blue, and Son are also in the dropbox, should you desire to read the entire series.

February Book: Lone Survivor

It appears that there has been a mass of confusion at the start of this year.  The real book for February, as chosen by Cindy, is Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell.

The epub and mobi files are in the dropbox. Audio is on hold, but with the movie coming out, it's popular right now, and may take more than a month to get in.

January book: Miracles and Massacres

It has come to my attention that it's suddenly my turn to choose a book for the list. My book for this month is Miracles and Massacres: True and Untold Stories of the Making of America by Glenn Beck.

November Book: The Reason I Jump

After an initial choice of The Book Thief, Tanya has changed her mind on the book for this month.  It seems she subsequently picked the book up and realized that it was bigger than she was willing to read ;)

So the book for this month, a much shorter work, is The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida.  The epub and mobi copies are uploaded to the dropbox folder.  I doubt I'll be able to get the audio before the end of the month, so it looks like fake paper it is!

Also, it looks like, by common consent, December will be a catch-up month, and the next official book will be for January.  Warren is on deck, but should he pass it's Jonathan, then Randi, then Cindy.  I don't know who all is participating, so I'll call you when it gets to your turn.  Be thinking about what you want to choose!
