Tall Reader raised readers ... and now those readers are raising readers ... and those readers (10 and 12) are sharing books with Tall Reader ... who shares them with me! Book share at it's best! So, the book this time was The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. There's a storm, and a cargo ship sinks. Some of that cargo (robots) washes ashore on a remote island, but most of it is damaged on the rocks. One robot, however, survives. This is an AI robot and can learn once she is activated. This is how she survives and adapts, and even makes friends. LOVED this book! And the short chapters made it easy to read far into the night. :-)

I picked up The Book of Rules, by Gail Noble-Sanderson, because the author lives here in Washington State. It takes place in Wales, in 1946, in a small town named Mumbles (love that name). The local vicar has died, Drew finds the body when she comes to clean. This, of course, opens up all kinds of secrets ... there's a room in the attic (with an unusual means of access) with old radio equipment. And letters with signatures that don't look quite right, and then there's the train ... in fact that's where the title is from, it has to do with railroads, and, this is the first in the author's Drew Davies Railway Mystery series.
