Boy Books

A friend of mine asked the other day if I'd give her a list of books that Josh has enjoyed...so I decided to share that here as well. Josh has read all these books (unless indicated), and I have read at least some/one of the ones marked with an *.

It takes me quite a while to find decent books for Josh to read particularly as he reads so incredibly fast. Mostly I keep my eyes opened for recommendations from people I respect, follow links to books associated with books I know to be decent, and search Amazon reviews for affirmation or questionable material in books I have come across. Please know that I'm not saying all these books are top-notch and are encouraging high character...some of these are just fluff books. Do check these out for yourself as everyone has different convictions.

---Also, please add any other boy favorites in the comments section...that would be great.
