	David gave to: Darkmans (Hardcover) by Nicola Barker	my rating:
	read in June, 2008 David said: "This book is totally confusing (or perhaps that's because I read entire other books in between the chapters of this one), but it holds my attention nonetheless. I think there's some interesting stuff happening here, but I can't quite figure it out. ...more " add a comment

	David gave to: The Vonnesta Project 2: Camp Fingerlake (Paperback) by David J. Wartik	my rating:
	recommended for: everyone read in February, 2008 David said: "I enjoyed this one so much more than the first one. The plot is more enjoyable and moves quicker, and there's a lot more interaction between all of the characters. There was a good deal of set-up in the first novel, but this one needs none of that ...more " add a comment
	David gave to: The Collectors (Hardcover) by David Baldacci	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 David said: "Sometimes I find Baldacci books hard to get into, but that was not the case at all with this one. I loved the story, the twists and the characters. Even though it involves the Camel Club people, you don't need to read that book (or remember anythin...more " add a comment
	David gave to: Good-bye Round Robin: 25 Effective Oral Reading Strategies (Paperback) by Michael F. Opitz	my rating:
	recommended for: all teachers read in August, 2008 David said: "This was a quick read and really energized me for the coming school year. Lots of great, easy, and quick reading strategies that get you out of the familiar and into the new. Anyone who teaches reading (at any elementary grade level, and even middl...more " add a comment
	David gave to: Playing For Pizza: A Novel (Hardcover) by John Grisham	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 David said: "Not what you'd expect from Grisham - about a football player trying to revive his career and life in Italy. It's a fun story and enjoyable to read, but nowhere near as gripping as his legal stuff. As well, it's not as good as Bleachers, if you're c...more " add a comment
	David gave to: The Overlook: A Novel (Hardcover) by Michael Connelly (Goodreads author!)	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 David said: "Another decent novel from Connelly, although I think it was a bit too short - coming in at 220 pages or so. His novels used to be longer and more intricate, but that's not happening as much any more. Still an enjoyable read, if not a little predict...more " add a comment
	David gave to: The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4) by Rick Riordan	my rating:
	recommended for: everyone, but especially people who enjoy greek mythology or MG fiction read in August, 2008 David said: "In this fourth book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympian series, the main character (Percy) and his friends need to travel the old, mythical Labyrinth, created by Daedalus, in order to save their camp and the everyone on the good side.

	David gave to: The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary (Paperback) by Simon Winchester	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 David said: "Very interesting story about the development of the Oxford English Dictionary. It's non-fiction, but reads like fiction and goes quickly. Only about 230+ pages, and gives you lots of insight into both the task itself (it took 70 years from concepti...more " 2 comments
