Book Challenge, Week 48

Wow, the weeks are flying by!

Brishen:
69. Basil of Baker Street by Eve Titus
70!!! 39 Clues: One False Note by Gordon Korman
71. 39 Clues: The Sword Thief by Peter Lerangis
72. Peanuts by Charles Schulz--I let him count this comic strip compilation because it included history and autobiographical information as well as the comics.

Melani:
68. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
This is a fascinating book about all the reasons people succeed that have very little to do with themselves. I think my brother-in-law, Joe, and my dad would really enjoy this one.
69. 10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children by Shmuley Boteach
This is not what I expected. It's not, "tell your kids that drugs are bad," conversations. It's much deeper advice about how to treat your children and raise your children to be mature, thinking, intelligent people. I plan to read this again before I take it back to the library.


Jon:
38. Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell
39. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
40. When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win by Carol Leifer
