This week at Kelly's Korner she is hosting show us your favorite books/children books! I was not raised in a house that reading was a priority. When I started working at the high school I found out quickly that reading is a high priority there. Both of our principals are avid readers and we even have a literacy period where the students are to just read. I have now become a pretty avid reader (when I have time.) I want my kids to see me reading so that goes on down to them.
I usually read what my high school students are reading and every once in a while I will throw in a Harlequin series! I really enjoy any of the Jodi Picoult books, she is one of my favorite authors right now. She is most notable for My Sister's Keeper, but she really has so many great books out there. One of the hot books at the high school right now is the Hunger Game series. The last of the trilogy is coming out this August and I can't wait, they are really good books! Just to break things up I recently read the Montana Creed books, this is just a good trashly love story.
My son Kale just really isn't into books, but my boss (one of the principals that is an avid reader) told Kale about the books that he read to his son to get his son interested into books. It is Hank the Cowdog series. We read them to Kale and Fallon both, and they both love them but it has really helped Kale to like books. They are really funny and fun to read!!
Fallon is my little reader, she LOVES books and that really is an understatement. Two of her favorite books are Pinkalicious and Purplicious! There is not a book in our house that she doesn't love, hasn't read 3, 297 times and can't repeat the book back to you word for word.

My girls love Pinkalicious and Goldilicious! I am thinking they need Purplelicious too! Those books are so cute! I have never read Jodi Picoult's books, which is odd because I love to read and she is a very well know author. I have heard alot of good things about her books, I am thinking that she might just be the author of the next book I read. :)
I love Jodi Picoult too! :)
