October Book #3

Book: Bound by Donna Jo Napoli

An Asian Cinderella story. Unpredictable and well-written as all Napoli's books are.

October Book #2

Book: Holes by Louis Sachar

Pretty much everyone has read this book, but I never had. I liked it.

October Book #1

Book: Off With Their Heads! by Maria Tatar

A book for school, but still very interesting. I liked it much better than [Jack] Zipes' books on fairy tales.

Book: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

Not as good as The Tale of Despereaux or Because of Winn-Dixie, but still very good.

Book: Love Walked In by Maria de los Santos

Very cute. Lots of allusions to Cary Grant and The Philadelphia Story.

Mom loved it.

August Book #3

Book: I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley

A collection of essays that are overall pretty good, but not funny or witty enough to recommend. She also uses a lot of profanity when it's not really necessary.

August Book #2

Book: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

A nice way to end the Twilight series. It ended with a happily ever after, so that's always good.
