Audio Diary - Wednesday

I got the girl off to 8th grade 10 minutes late on Wednesday. It sounded like this:




She's a very understanding girl! Don't know if you noticed, but we were in the car listening to the audiobook version of Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. It's narrated by Jenna Lamia & David Ledoux.

So, listening to this has put us on a quest to find a book that has less kissing and more SAT words. Her wish. Not that she doesn't (or shouldn't) enjoy some light reading. She's just not quite into the dating, romance, make-up, fashion thing, yet. I'm having a dickens of a time finding books that will satisfy her 8th grade brain. ALL recommendations are welcome!


Until we find the next great teen/YA read, she's planning a reread of an old favorite. Here's her not so subtle hint:
