Twilight, Stephanie Meyer

I did this one backwards, went to see the movie first, then read the book. I really glad I did it that way, but looking back on it, I dont know that it really made that much difference. The movie was true to the book and vice versa. It was a pretty easy read and the pages just flew by. If you are looking for the steamy stuff that's in the Laurell K. Hamilton books and other vampire series, you came to the wrong place. This book is almost squeaky clean and I'd feel comfortable with anyone over the age of 12 reading this. It's a good story, and for one who loves stories, it was a good pick for me. Enjoy.

Artemis Fowl, The Lost Colony

Even though I jumped into the story in the middle of the series, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was a super quick read, but for some reason it still took me 2 months to get through it :P. The story is well thought out and is definitely kid friendly. There's not a bad word or situation in the book that you would worry about your kids reading. Enjoy.
