Here’s the summary...
Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public" -- in order to head off David's embarrassing behaviors.
But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising, new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?

My grandmother gave me “A Perfect Life” by Danielle Steel and I picked up a few books at Ollie’s the other day The Hopefuls - Jennifer Close The Thing About Leftovers - C.C. Payne Someday Dancer - Sarah Rubin Knit To Be Tied - Maggie Sefton I have never been to Ollie's. Do you like the selection of books that they offer? |

The thing is it’s often changing selection and there could be errors like I bought a book with a missing chapter XD but in the end I think it’s worth it, they have a ton of bokks |

Went to Gottwals with my mom yesterday and got 4 books! I sure did get a lot for someone that hasn't really read in a while... Anywho, I got Hotel for the Lost by Suzanne Young, Codependent No More by Melody Beattie, A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams, and The Mermaid's Mirror by L.K. Madigan. Hotel for the Lost is about a girl named Audrey who checks into the Hotel Ruby with her family and learns about the hotel's dark past. It seems like it might be a little suspenseful. That should be interesting. Codependent No More is about codependency, obviously, and how to break out of it. My therapist hasn't told me that I'm a codependent person but I'm pretty sure I am one. I flipped through some of the pages to read a little and I could relate to the feelings that were being described. A Hundred Summers is about a girl named Lily who is vacationing in Rhode Island. Her ex best friend and ex fiancé show up and complicate things. It's set in the 1930's which should be interesting! The Mermaid's Mirror is about a girl named Lena who feels connected to the ocean. One day, she spots a mermaid swimming and decides to meet her. H2O was one of my favorite shows as a kid so anything with mermaids sounds good! I hope Lena ends up being a mermaid! Now the question is, which one do I read first?

I went shopping at Ollie's a little over a week ago and purchased several books.
Theodore the Great by Daniel Ruddy
First Entrepreneur by Edward G. Lengel
The Restless Wave - by John McCain and Mark Salter
World War II An Illustrated History by Donald Sommerville
The Wild West In Color by John C. Guntzelman
These are great books at fantastic prices!
