More Ghosts

Walking downtown this morning I was fairly easily able to finish Look Through My Window - I did enjoy it; and like that I can identify the title's reference now. It is similar to saying "walk a mile in my shoes' or other related phrases. The biggest distraction for me during much of the story involved trying to find the connection between this book at what happens (happened) in the following book, Kate. It took me an inordinate amount of time to figure out/remember that the main character of each book was a different one of the friends and not the same one. Although I don't think it exists, I'd be interested in reading more of what happens to this group of friends. I also enjoyed much of the poetry in the book. To an extent I was reminded of a few other books I'd read (I don't recall off hand who wrote them): Katie John and Honestly, Katie John - I suspect they were written at about the same time.

I have now barely started the next book in my stack - one I brought home from work yesterday: Give Up the Ghost by Megan Crewe - the author keeps reminding me of Sarah Crewe, an early/original? version of A Little Princess (but only because of the last name). The book is about a girl who prefers spending time with ghosts as opposed to "breathers" as she calls them. She uses her ghostly friend(s?) to learn all her classmates' secrets, but then someone learns her own secret. Mostly I know this summary from the front cover of the book, because I'm not far enough into the book at the moment, but I hope to hit that point semi-soon. I might not read it too much for a while as I plan to watch much of Quantum Leap: The Complete Third Season so that I can return it when it is due next week.

I've also barely started Is It Possible to Live This Way: Volume 3: Charity by Luigi Giussani (sp?) for a new church group I've joined - I'm a bit behind the rest of the group, but only about 35 pages so far, so hopefully I can finish that before we meet on Friday evening (I'd expect I'd do fine, except apparently it's pretty deep and may take longer than the type of books I've been reading currently). I expect to enjoy this one too, though.
