It's Monday! What Are You Reading ? 24.6.13


It's Monday!  What Are You Reading?
Sharing with fellow Book Journey readers and bloggers for another week..

*

Reading a kindle release of a YA series by Judy Baer from MN
Live! from Brentwood High
                                       A very thorough coverage of each topic the students of an innovative media class decide to cover 
- in print or  tv - 
via live interviews in their school and community.
I have read the first 3 this weekend - topics covered 
students training for emergency medical teams in rural areas,
violence in schools and community,
sexual harassment.
Great concept for  a highschool class and
for a book series!
A lot of humour as I got to know 
each of the creatively personalized characters  .
Risky Assignment reviewed
Price of Silence reviewed
Double Danger reviewed

Another novel I'm working through for a July book tour -
Canadian author, Patricia Sands' novel Promise of Provence.

"Be prepared to fall in love with Provence! This is a story that will draw you in with its vibrancy in setting and characters. A must read for any woman with a desire for romance and travel." 
-  Steena Holmes

Pretty sure I'll be finishing that on Tuesday's flight - 2 1/2 hours of airborne reading time!
Looking forward to that getaway...
Of course, another 2 1/2 hours for the return - not sure what my reading will be then !
