And since I write books for children, you can bet that I love a good conversation about the books I read. I tend to read all over the map--ENFJ's are usually very eclectic in their choice of things such as books, movies, and music--and I have been known to pick up anything from picture books to technical manuals for adults. (I also read the back of the cereal box as I eat, the handwritten scratches of notes my hubby and kids leave lying around, and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.)
So, in order to feed my intellectual, bookish side, occasionally I'd like to share some of the books I have enjoyed. On random Fridays (not every Friday, because even though I'm an ENFJ, my cognitive profile shows that ENFP preferences are only about 1% behind my ENFJ preferences, and this means I do have very much in common with the ENFPs out there; and one of those is that I'm not always the best at sticking to a schedule) I'll post a book I've read and a short blurb about why I liked it. I will also add it to a Pinterest board called My Friday Reads, in case you are a Pinterest fanatic like me. (NOTE: There are some books already on the Pinterest board, because I did a Friday Reads on my old blog, too.)
Without further ado, my Friday reads for today:
Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage
For: 8-12-year-olds
Genre: Mystery
Published: 2012
Why I like it: One word: characters. I absolutely adored the voice of the main character, Mo LoBeau, and the quirky but lovable supporting cast that makes up her small, southern town. I wanted to BE in Tulepo Landing with Mo and the Colonel and Miss Lana and Dale Earnhardt Johnson III and all the others. I was so happy when this book won the Newbery Honor, because it deserved it. I always applaud when a book that is fun (and has funny parts, too) gets some attention from the Newbery Committee.
