[Pooh's Pixie]

A Lesson Before Dying for English class.

A very sad book. But really good. It stays with you.

The invention of Hugo Cabaret by Brian Selznik. It's a great 500-page novel with pictures and words (lots of pictures). If you're into graphic novels or just graphics or children's book then this is a must-read!

[Pig Pen]

I'm in a dry spell right now. After several good reads, I got stuck on Palace Walk, so set it aside (planning to return to it at some point) to read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. It's very different but I am not loving it yet...and I am almost halfway through.

We've had to read through chapter 15 so far (I actually have a quiz tomorrow on chapters 1-8...yikes!) but it's very, very good. So sad, though, the racism.

On the bus/work breaks - Janet Evanovitch's "Plum" series (again - thanks to another thread on these boards!!)

For serious/at home (ie-when I can read for more than 5 min without being interrupted) - Beijing Doll (Autobiographical story of young, modern, mainland Chinese female. Certainly has blown a few of my preconceptions out of the water!)

I just started "Waiting to Exhale" by Terry McMillan. I have never seen the movie and saw the book on the bargain rack at the bookstore. It looks like a quick fun read.


I finished "The Boleyn Inheritance" by Phillipa Gregory this weekend. I enjoy her historical/fictional books...more than I thought I would.

I almost bought "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" at the bookstore. I enjoy Stephen King and I read that he could not put this book down. I was curious as to what kind of book Stephen King could not stop reading.

I'm in a weird spot emotionally in my life right now. I want to read this book, but think I had better wait until a better time. Thanks for sharing your insights.

I finished "Swans Way" and am now reading "Doomed Queens" by Kris Waldherr. It is a book about all of the doomed queens in history and even some modern politicians and princesses, it gives a brief biography of each and how they died. As morbid as it sounds, the author takes a humor to each of them, so you aren't reading a gory book.
