Summer Update 5

Hi again, everybody! I've finished and edited the book my dad is writing. It will be called, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears: A Humorous Guide to Caring for Cancer Patients." He is doing some final editing, but the book should be available (in e-book format only, for now) in the next couple of weeks. Check back here for more information soon.

I finished the book, "Where I Belong" by Gwendolyn Heasley, that I mentioned I was starting in my last blog post. The book turned out to be much better than I had expected. You can definitely tell that it's the author's first book because it isn't especially well-written (it's pretty good, though), but the plot line is pretty engaging, and the book could make a pretty good movie. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a quick summer read.

I have just started Bill Bryson's, "A Walk in the Woods." It is about the author, Bill Bryson's, adventures on hiking the entire Appalachin Trail, which stretches all the way from northern Georgia to Maine. The book is supposed to be pretty interesting, but I'll have to wait and see!

  1. I just read your dad's book. Fantastic! Very funny which is ironic because it's about having cancer. That certainly proves how good a writer he is, being able to find quite a few laughs in a difficult subject.
