So for my birthday my sister sent me a Barnes and Noble giftcard. Yay! But really what I got at the bookstore was the best present I could have ever asked for.
My son, C, who's seven went straight to the middle grade section and picked "The Monsters of Morley Manor" by Bruce Coville. This made me proud that he wanted to read up from the chapter books he has been reading. The week before he had read 100 pages from Charlie Bone in 1 day.

Then my daughter, S, decided she wanted a diary. I let them go off with Grammy while I perused the YA's. C came back with a cool journal and said he wanted that too. I didn't think much about this until later at home when he was excitedly writing in it. I told him boys called them journals, but he insisted his was a diary. Who cares as long as he's having fun writing in it. Woohoo.

I have always worried that he wouldn't like reading and now I'm relieved, for now, that he does.

    That's wonderful, Sara! And Mr. C couldn't have chosen a better book. I love "The Monsters of Morley Manor!"

    God Bless,
    Susan

    We looked at about 20 before he picked that one. Of course they all had monsters of them. Lol.

    I was worried about him not wanting to read (the whole boy thing) but he seems to be doing fine. I'm just thankful he wants to read and write for fun.
