Candy Wallace
Candy Wallace may be our LSHS "Copy Queen", but in the summer, she's one crazy reader! Just look at her "Growl" on summer reading for '06! She tells us:
"Where did I park the car?" "Why did I buy this?" "Who ate all the ice cream?"
Everyone is a detective in solving daily mysteries. With my lifestyle being so cluttered, I find myself applying "deductive reasoning" nearly hourly!
Ergo: My favorite reading genre is mystery---and, to quote Sherlock Holmes, "The game is afoot!" in reading the following mystery books.
- Murder in Baker Street ed. by Greenburg
- Mrs. Parker Pyne, Detectiveby Agatha Christie
- Mystery and More Mysteryby Robert Arthur
- Angels and Demonsby Dan Brown
- The DaVinci Codeby Dan Brown
Now for the non-Mystery books:
- Death Comes to the Archbishopby Willa Cather
- The Myths of Greece and Romeby H.A. Guerber
- The Minoans of Ancient Creteby G. L. Field
- Stravaganza: City of Starsby Mary Hoffman
- Animal Farmby George Orwell
- The Dragons are Singing Tonightby Jack Preluttsky &
- Dragonologyby Dr. Ernest Drake
Thank you, Candy, for sharing your love of reading with us through this "Tiger Growl".
