Mineola Library's 2012 FALL Reading Challenge discussion

Skip to My Lou


Read a book by an author whose consecutive initials (as they appear in their Goodreads name) skip a consecutive letter in the alphabet. Hyphenated names count as the letter of the first hyphenated name.
Examples: Agatha Christie (ABC), Jen Lancaster (JKL) Irmgard Keun (IJK), Arthur Conan Doyle (ABC)

I completed this task by reading by Ann Charles. This book had 376 pages. It is the story of Violet, the mother of twins, who is fighting to keep her job as a realtor. She must sell 1 house within the next month or she will lose her job. Meanwhile there are young girls her daughter's age missing. It was a cute book but just okay

I introduced Sam to the classic Corduroy by Don Freeman for this challenge. (32 pages)

2.3,Agatha Christie, "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd",pp.213. Once again Poirot is called in to solve the murder . Mrs. Ferars commits sucide because she is being blackmailed for the poisoning of her husband. Narrated by the town doctor, Dr. Sheppard, travels with Poirot to record and journal and be the sounding board for Poirot for the investigation of the death of her husband.

"The Very Noisy Night might work for Level 2.1 Happy, Happy, Happy. If being close to your parents made you feel safer and happy when you got scared at night, it could work for that task."
