Books

Okay, I need to start reading again myself, but after the Game of Thrones, I am afraid to start anything new.  Here's my problem, I need to start biking in, but if I have a really good book to read on the bus, the bus seems much more tempting.  SO, I"m off the very good reads until the rainy season again.  Does that sound weird?  It feels weird, but I need my motivation to do some other things while the weather permits.

but BOOKS!  yes books, I want to  try to keep up with what I am reading with Owen (and Grace for that matter)
Grace is easy:  Curious George, Belly button book.  WE work others in all the time, but those are her go-to.

Owen is becoming a reader himself and handles more sophisticated books.  At night he reads for at least 15 minutes... his choice, and I will read a chapter from a chapter book. 
Owen's choices:
Captain Underpants
Dragon - anything books, but he gravitates towards those that have a field guide feel.
There are some of these shorter chapter books that have good pictures interspersed, and he is getting more into these as well... Spiderwick chronicles (though it's still mostly me reading these), Stuart
Some of the comic books appeal to him in spurts... Tin tin, Asterix, but he still laughs out loud most at C.U.
Because it has his namesake, the Owen and Mzee books are also a favorite. 

I've been reading to him... These are mostly series of books.
Artemis Fowl (series)
any of the mythologically based tales by Rick Riordan
Books 1-3 of Harry Potter, we may almost be ready for more but we stopped because of nightmares from book 3.
Spiderwick Chronicles,
Song of the Winns
Redwall (but got a bit complex at times, and man, it is just tough to read, the words don't roll off the tongue).
Alvin Ho
We are on a little break from these but have read more Magic Treehouse books than I care to think about.  I think he is about ready to tackle these on  his own though.
We have listened to some spy/sleuthing books on disk, but haven't really read them at home yet, maybe we should try those, the 39 clues were okay, but seem better for the car than for bed.   

Here's the deal, if you think of any others that would be good, LET ME KNOW!  We go through books quickly, and have almost completed all of our favorite series... We must find new ones!  The Chronicles of Narnia have been a slow start/low engagement so far, and I got a mixed read on the black cauldron, but may try that one again, we need to get our hands on the new Spies of Gerander, and I think we have one more artemis fowl book to read.
