Since my last WOYN post, I have finished 6 more books, bringing my total for the year to 51.
WHAT I’VE READ THIS MONTH
2011 Reads – Books 46-50 (review post)
Big Daddy’s Tales From the Lighter Side of Raising a Kid With Autism
Times Tables the Fun Way: A Picture Method of Learning the Multiplication Facts
The Ultimate Guide to Sensory Processing in Children
Minding Frankie
I’ve decided going forward to start posting my reviews separately instead of 5 at a time. While a lot of them will probably be fairly short, there are some books I want to say more about and it would help me to categorize them more clearly as well. I have also started keeping a master list for the year.
#51: Sarah’s Choice (Brides of Lehigh Canal, Book 3)
ODE TO A DNF
The Union Quilters: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel
As much as I love the Elm Creek Quilts series, I just couldn’t get into this one. I much prefer the contemporary stories to the historical ones. I thought she did a good job of introducing the characters and setting up the story, but unfortunately it lagged a bit for me after that. If you haven’t read any of the other novels, however, I would recommend the first several in the series very highly!
WHAT’S ON THE NIGHTSTAND TO BE READ
The Book on Writing: The Ultimate Guide to Writing Well
Chalk Line: A Ben Gallagher Mystery
I don’t currently have any library books hanging around, which is very unusual for me. I do have a number of autism-related non-fiction books to review, so hopefully I can get caught up on those over the next month.
I have to admit, I have had a hard time focusing on novels lately and have been watching more TV shows – primarily because I can view an entire season at a time on Netflix without any commercials. I think I need to take time to check my TBR list against what’s available at the library to jumpstart my fiction reading again.

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’ve been experiencing reading burn out.
Here is mine
So you’re quite the organized reader too. Good for you. The Book on Writing sounds intriguing. I’ll look forward to what you’ll say about it.
The sensory processing book sounds interesting, but I’m currently experiencing technical difficulties with nonfiction reading. (Technically, I can’t seem to get through a book!!)
If you keep up that pace, you’ll be hitting the magical 100 number by year’s end!

I have been meaning to buy Big Daddy’s book for weeks now. I must buy it! And I love Maeve Binchy.
