December reading

Sorry it's been so quiet around here lately! Here's a quick look at what I've been reading this past month.

The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan
The Tragedy Paper  

Duncan gets the opportunity to hear the full version of last year's tragic events from last year's senior Tim.  A story of unlikely love and trying to fit into the social dynamics of high school.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbra Robinson
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

What happens when the worst kids in the history of the world decide to join the church's Christmas pageant? Hilarity and a thought provoking look at the story of the nativity.

The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
The Light Between Oceans

The story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife as they deal with the unforeseen consequences of their actions when they decide not to report boat that washes ashore with a dead man and baby.  Despite all the great recommendations I was given, I struggled to get to the end of this book.  The plot was a little too slow for my liking.

The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements
The Last Holiday Concert

Getting hit by a rubber band is the last straw for the choir director.  As a result the students are in charge of their own holiday concert and the most popular student, Hart, is elected to be in charge.  Hart most learn to balance popularity with leadership while trying to produce an original holiday concert.  A good book by a great author.
