Playing Catch Up

Wow. I've had so much book-related stuff in my head the last several months, I've been too intimidated to even start blogging about it. Where to start?

My New Year's resolution for 2010 is to read 25 books. I'm not doing too shabby so far. Up to this point I've read:

Hoot
In Her Shoes
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I've started:

The Skinny
The Secret to Life Transformation
Replacing Dad

I'm currently reading:

The yet-to-be-named first published book by my husband. Or yet-to-be-published book, I should say. That's right! Elliott is going to be a published author! It's hard to believe when I write it out like that. He's writing a commissioned book from the publisher of Wild Onion Press, an amazing newer independent publisher that releases books that features kids with physical differences. Elliott's book is about a computer/science-smart teenage boy who happens to be a paraplegic. It's an adventurous barrier breaker with mass appeal, but also speaks to the day-to-day hurdles a teenager who is "different" faces . . . and the journey his friends take in learning he's not so different at all.

More to come, blogosphere. It's good to be back.
