I'm reading again!

I have been reading throughout the school year, but not keeping up with the blog! Sorry about that. I've started on next years NTB books. So far I have read: Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days by Stephen Manes, Dirty Little Secrets by C. J. Omololu and Dragonfly  by Julia Golding. In Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days Milo tries to see if he follows the directions from the book which fell on his head are true or not. Dirty Little Secrets deals with hoarding. Lucy is fed up with her mothers hoarding and her older brother and sister are no help. What should she do when something unexpected occurs? Dragonfly is full of adventure and compromise in order for alliances to be made to defeat a ruthless ruler.
