November Book #1

Book: American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Interesting premise and well-written, but filled with profanity and blatant sex scenes. I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it to anyone.

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.

August Book #5

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.

August Book #4

Book: Love Walked In by Maria de los Santos

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

Mom loved it.
