| Hurricane by Terry Trueman (HarperCollins, 2008, for ages 8 to 12) |
No MMGM post from me this Monday, and I may not have power so I may not be able to read all of your blogs. Hurricane Irene is heading this way so I'm unplugging everything after I post this. And yes, we have plenty of batteries and canned tuna and crackers and water! Sadly, no bananas because the grocery store was SOLD OUT.
However, I have my secret stash of chocolate, so all is not lost.
I promise I'll be back soon. Maybe. In the meantime, if you're looking for MMGM recommendations, these wonderful people may be able to help you:

I have fresh batteries in my booklight and I plan to finish reading 13 Gifts by Wendy Mass for a future MMGM post and then start Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma! What do YOU read when the lights go out?
Stay safe, everyone!
Take care through the hurricane. I hope it's not bad for you. I always read by flashlight when the power goes out. I miss the computer, but not the TV. I just read whatever book I'm reading.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're okay! I also hope the possible days without power will translate into good reading time.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had a power outage since I was a kid, and they never lasted for more than an hour or two, so not much time for reading. :)
I just hope you and your family are safe and the power, if it goes out, comes back soon.
Take care!
I hope you're okay! The news coverage was scary.
ReplyDeleteI also catch up on reading during hurricane days. But it's been about three years since I've had a hurricane day in my parts.
I hope the damage in your area wasn't too bad. I'm glad you have books and chocolate. :o)
ReplyDeleteHoping all is well after the storm. Mainly dealing with downed trees here, and fortunately, none in our yard.
ReplyDeletetake care!
I hope you weathered the storm okay, Joanne. Let us know. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book and so timely. Thanks for the links!

Thanks for your concern, everyone! We're fine. I've just posted an update (see new post), since I FINALLY have power again. It was frustrating being without the internet (and hot showers).
ReplyDeleteThe hurricane itself was only a Category 1, but lots of uprooted or fallen trees caused extended power outages, and flooded rivers in my area contributed to the problems.
