I wonder if I should go back and reread Deerskin one of these days. I read it back in junior high and I don't think I was ready for it at the time.

If any of these
should actually become avalable from the library I will be reading them as well. I do not hold out much hope though since they are very slow at getting in new books. Beth - ;)

I really hope one of my local libraries gets Dead Drift although I've enjoyed Pettrey's books so I might buy it.
I am currently reading

I'm behind on my "what's in a name challenge" so I need to plan out books to finish that off. :) Although to be honest, a lot of new releases have just come to my library that I am really excited to read like-

so I may just use children's books to finish that challenge up.

A friend gave me some of them, and yes, I do like the series. Nice relaxing cozy mystery when I've been reading some heavier books. I have also found the missing ones I didn't have at abebooks.com. It is my go to website for books that are more difficult to find. The best thing about it is their prices are fantastic and most are free shipping. I have been paying on average $3.84 for the books I buy there. The are used but if you choose in good or like new condition I have not had a problem with any of the books I have purchased.
Once I start that series, I'll probably get them all through my church library.
What?! How can it already be JUNE?! 😀Finished:

Lorraine, I have not tried abebooks; thanks for the heads up. Ebay sometimes gets expensive even for a used book. I miss our old church library; great source for many Hannah

Here are some hopefuls for this month:
I'm over halfway through a door-stopper:
and thoroughly enjoying it (it's a WW1 spy story). I'm also partway through an easier read,

I learned about them from this group ( it was probably Loraine :) and it is almost always the most inexpensive way to purchase the books that I want to read. I tell everyone who is an avid reader about it. With free shipping on most things I can purchase like 4 books for the price of one new release. It certainly helps the budget :)
I'm currently reading
for the monthly read,
aloud with my 12-year-old son for the library challenge, and
for a review and non-fiction challenge, integrating Philippians
for the Bible reading challenge.
My plans for June are to finish the What's in a Name Challenge with Once upon a Summer (and I'll continue reading the rest of the series for the Series challenge) and either Lilac Girls if my library ever gets me the ebook or I will switch to The Purple Morrow. I'm going to finish the Kindle challenge with the last one I need, favorite genre or favorite author. My good friend is an author in my favorit genre, so I will read her new book
.

My favorite go-to site for books also Cheryl. I always feel like I am getting the best deal I can find.
Meredith wrote: "...The Blue Sword is my favorite of Robin McKinley's books and I am still grateful that my mom brought it home for me to read!"Meredith and Elizabeth, The Blue Sword is also one of my favorite books, one of my top twenty books in fact; I reread it almost every year! McKinley is a wonderful author, and I sure enjoy her books!

I just have to echo the love of Robin McKinley. Beauty was one of my most favorite books growing up and I quickly read all of her books that I could. :)

I'm not sure what I met pick up next to tide me over until I get my library books that are waiting for me.
Anyway, waiting at the library are:
and
Also requested
(being shipped) and
(not moving yet)
My favorite for this month is Among the Poppies Wow! Powerful story. Like the beautiful poppies that grew from the devastated battlefields of WWI, Gwyn and William's love blossoms from the sacrifices of war.
So far I've only managed to read one book this month but I think the second half will be more productive. I've finished
and I'm working on
and
(NF). Next I'll either start
or
and I'll read
when it comes out Monday. I'd still like to read
(GM) before the end of the month too.
