November Book


Sorry it has taken me a few days to get the November book organized!! We will be reading a book that has long been collecting dust on my shelf, just waiting for me to get around to it! It is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. It came highly recommended to me, so I am confident it's a good one! (Word of warning: I just finished reading the first several pages and there was some profanity, so be prepared for it.) Here is a very brief synopsis for those who are interested :)


"Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.

This improbable story of Christopher's quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years."



Hopefully you were all able to finish up last month's book, Birthmarked, by Caragh O'Brien. The second book of this trilogy, Prized, is scheduled to be released this month, so we will be reading it in December. Just a heads up to those of you who want to read ahead!
