Katrina asked the other day how we were doing on the Spring Reading Thing challenge, and I was a bit nervous to look. But actually, I have made some decent progress on my list. Although I haven’t read any of the 5 nonfiction titles, I have finished 11 of the 20 fiction titles, as well as crossing off 2 fiction titles that I decided not to read.
Updated 4/30/11 – Oops! I just realized I didn’t end up finishing The Shape of Mercy, just couldn’t get into it during the time I had it out from the library. So I’ve actually read 10 fiction titles and crossed off 3.

Looks like I need to get started on some nonfiction pretty soon! 
I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!

I am curious…Out of the books you have read so far (on your list) which is your favorite? I am surprised that I haven’t read one of them! I think I read a lot and then I see what everyone else is reading and realize there are so many books I have yet to experience.
Enjoy the nonfiction!
From this list, I would say Delightfully Different is my favorite. Another book I read just before making this list is Mockingbird, which I also loved.
There are just too many books out there altogether!
You’ve read so much! Interested in the Temple Grandin, since I have a family member with Asperger’s.
Yeah, I am addicted to books! I’m just starting the Grandin/Barron book now. It is definitely geared more towards adults, but could be useful for parents who are trying to explain some of these things to their children as well.
