Today I will share some books that I have enjoyed this week. Reading is my passion and hobby that I couldn't live without so I think from time to time on my blog, I will share some books that I have enjoyed.
These is my Words by Nancy Turner is a book I read yesterday for Book club that is coming up soon. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I was pleasantly surprised! It is written in diary form and covers a 20-year period in the life of Sarah Agnes Prine. It is actually fiction but the author based this story on her own great-grandmother. I love books that make me feel emotion and this one made my laugh and cry! This book is 384 pages. I would classify it as adult as there were some intense scenes in the book that I wouldn't want my teens reading. But saying that I thoroughly recommend it and know that you would enjoy it very much!
"Just Another Ordinary Day" by Rod Clement is a short children book that I got from the library but would love to add to my collection. It has wonderful illustrations that are so fun and my kids really enjoyed it! I think the pictures are what make this such a fun story.
If your child loves Thomas the Tank Engine or even if they don't this is a fun story that my two younger boys love for me to read over and over again. I checked it out from the library but we've checked it out many times before. I need to just go out and buy it! It is a great beginner book for an early reader, too.
This is a book that I found out about when I was looking up the Whitney award nominees from years past. I thought it looked cute and it was! This is one that I recommended to my 12-year-old girl who also read it and really enjoyed it. "My Fair Godmother" by Janette Rallison. It is a lighthearted story about two teenage sisters with a little fairy tale thrown in. The other good thing about this book, is it got my hooked to the rest of Janette Rallison's books. She has written a lot of books about the high school scene that I have really enjoyed and I think younger girls through teen girls will enjoy her books.
"Princess of Glass" by Jessica Day George. This is the book that I am reading today so I can't completely tell you what it is about but I'm really enjoying it. I would say that young teen girls would also enjoy this book. It is a sequel to the book "Princess of the Midnight Ball" which was another great book. The first one was a story about the 12 dancing princesses. Goodreads summarizes it so much better than I do but I am really liking this one!
Well there you have it! Hope you enjoy these books and I might do this again if I get any response. Thanks for letting me share my love of books with you.

You will enjoy Princess of Glass. Sadly I haven't read the others on your list. Might have to change that.
Thanks for posting these book recommendations. My daughter loves to read. I have a hard time knowing and trusting what books will be appropriate and good for a 13 year old. She is an advanced reader and is constantly looking for something beyond what most kids her age read. I can't relate. :) I do appreciate the recommendations.
Love, love, love These is My Words. Such a great book. I read Princess of the Midnight Ball so I'll have to check out Princess of the Glass - love the cover, too.
