Books and Movies from November

Several of the books that I read in November were read as "homeschool prep" so that I could discuss the book with either Amber or Mason. Mason finally talked me into letting him read a "Goosebumps" book for school so I read the book as well. While it definitely was not a "classic in the making," the book was fast-paced and suspenseful. I now have a better appreciation of why my son enjoys the Goosebumps series so much.

Books from November

• Penelope and Prince Charming by Jennifer Ashley ****
• The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner ***
• Deep Trouble (Goosebumps series) by R. L. Stine ***
• The Maze Runner by James Dashner ****
• Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning ****
• A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens *****

I really watched a LOT of movies in November. I even went to the MOVIE THEATER two times! My daughter and I had several double-feature nights over the Thanksgiving holiday while I worked on laundry and mindless school-prep activities like cutting out lapbook components. I saw some movies that I really liked and some that were disappointing. I also revisited some old favorites which is always a treat.
