What Books Have You Read Lately?

One time I heard that if you read less than a book a month (or something like that) then you're illiterate.  Well, that's just about me (except I do spend a lot of time reading my scriptures/seminary material), so I'm trying to change that.  I think a goal for me will be two books/month.  Luckily, I read two books during my vacation to Florida.  Here they are:

Jeanellie leant me her library book (above).  It took me awhile to get into it, but I trusted that it would be good so I stuck with it -- I ended up really enjoying it.  It was a good book to get me started back into reading.  I thought the ending was right as well.

Little did I know that Kara would buy a book by the same author.  I really enjoyed this book and had a great time reading it.  It's a quick read, so that was nice.  I finished it on the plane yesterday.

What have YOU read lately?  I need some good suggestions.  Oh, when I was at Walt Disney World I decided I would like to read a biography on Walt Disney -- what an amazing person!  He made things happen!  I love that Disney employes so many people, particularly senior citizens.  Most of the workers I saw at Wild Animal Kingdom were Senior citizens...awesome!

I've read some good ones lately:
The Percy Jackson series
The Peter and the Starcatchers series
Mere Christianity
Wind, Sand and Stars by Saint Expurery

They may not be very similar to Princess Academy, but they're good!
