Books My Kids Read


I get asked all the time what my kids are reading. I don't know if it's because I'm a mom of four, because I'm an author, or because our car, house, pool bag, porch, very lives are littered with hardbacks, paperbacks, a Kindle and picture books. But the books we read are truly a reflection of who we are. Since people are curious. I decided to start this tab on my blog to share what my kiddos are reading. But it only helps you, if you understand a little bit about them.

MADDIE - AGE 19, SOCCER OBSESSED SORORITY GIRL

HUNGER GAMES

At long last Max is reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Maddie and I both read the entire series two years ago while we were in Germany. The real life Berlin Wall which divided citizens, so similar to the barbed wire dividing the districts in the book, and reading about the character of the twisted President Snow controlling innocent citizens while we walked streets where Hitler trod was almost too much to take in. It cemented both our history and this novel in my mind forever. I think I'm more excited that Max is reading this incredible, gripping story of bravery and fighting for what's right (with some great, clean romance thrown in) than he is. But I can't wait until he finishes, because then I'll be able to watch the movie again too! And hello, the Catching Fire movie releases in November!
