	Author: J.K. Rowling Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy I loved this book! I thought it was one of the best of the series. Harry, Ron and Hermione are off to find the Horcruxes.

	Beyond Belief	10/10

	Author: Josh Hamilton Genre: Biography and Memoirs Josh Hamilton is the centerfielder for the Texas Rangers baseball team. In this book, he speaks candidly about his addiction to cocaine and crack. He was suspended from Major League Baseball and everyone abandoned him. Except his grandmother. He turned to God and not only did he get clean but returned to baseball to be the star of the 2008 Home Run Derby. The first few chapters were a little cheesy but then it was just engrossing. I cried reading about what he went through and what his family went through. Great book. Highly recommended. Reviewed: May 15 2009 Rating: 10/10 - 1 review

Everyone thinks it's buried in Joe Morelli's backyard. Stephanie and Joe are babysitting, Mario Morelli aka Zook who may or may not be Morelli's son. Mooner, the lovable stoner, is back.

	Multiple Blessings	10/10

	Author: Kate Gosselin Genre: Biography and Memoirs I really enjoyed this book. It's the story of the Gosselin family. They are the family from the Jon and Kate plus 8 TV show on TLC. For those of you who don't watch the show, Jon and Kate are the parents of twins and sextuplets. The show is very cute. In the book, Kate narrates a very moving, frank and at times heart-wrenching story of her marriage to Jon, their devastation when they found out Kate couldn't ovulate. She tells of painful injections at a fertility clinic, her joy at conceiving and bringing twin girls into the world. Then her yearning to have another child, struggling with a decision to adopt a bi-racial child. Then the story of enduring more painful shots only to discover she became pregnant with sextuplets. She was bedridden for most of the pregnancy and Jon losing his job in the middle of the pregnancy. They often were on the verge of depresssion but always turned to God and never lost faith. And their faith was rewarded by 8 heathly children. The book is well-written. It often brought me to tears and at other times made me chuckle. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Very inspiring. Reviewed: November 17 2008 Rating: 10/10 - 1 review

Francie's mother is the strong level-headed parent while her father is beloved by all but is also an alcoholic.
