I have read a really good book, Brisinger by Paloni. I am not sure of the spelling but it is an excellent read.

Over the holidays I read The Book of Negroes and the last week I read The Guernsey literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Both great! Where is Tara French from? I love mysteries. Have you read the Lord Peter Wimsey books or Magery Allinghams Peter Campion series?

  I read The Book of Negroes too…and loved it. Haven’t read the sequel as yet though. Also my absolute favorite read last summer was The Guernsey book…loved it, loved it, loved it – especially the “sense of voice” that comes out so strongly in all the different letters. I was feeling so sad when the book was over….

I Am about to purchase “Dust of Dreams” by Steven Erikson. Book 10ish in a huge series. He’s the best author I’ve read in the Sword and Sorcery genre.

Also, “The Secret Truth of Grownups” A great book for the classroom.

“Peg and the Yeti” is a great book for plasticine illustrations in art class.

¡Adios!

Matt

  Hi Matt,
  
  Thanks for coming out today. Hey, I love fantasy reads too! I don’t know this author, Steven Erikson, yet. But I just checked his books out on Amazon and they look great! Have you read any books by Guy Gavriel Kay, Jack Whyte, or Terry Goodkind? They are some of my favorite fantasy authors.
  
  Also, I’m keen on kids’ books…but I don’t know the The Secret Truth of Grownups…but I know this one….The Secret Knowledge of Grown-ups. Could we be talking about the same book or a different one.
  
  Please let me know how it goes with your classroom blog….
  Best wishes,
  B.L>
