We started our break last Friday, so I've read a bunch already:) Finished Framed
(for my 4th grade reading group), The Help, a biography of Andrew Carnegie, The
Yellow-Lighted Bookshop, New York, by Edward Rutherford. About 1/3 of the way
through Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, and it's as good as all the reviews say.
Waiting for Christmas Day, so I can rip into the latest by Deborah Crombie, Drive
by Daniel Pink, Generosity, by Richard Powers, The Visual Miscellaneum, by David
McCandless, and a few others, all of which were on my Amazon Wish List, and
therefore, should be under the tree. (Plus, the size of the Amazon box my husband
has "hidden" in the trunk of his car indicates that once again, he bought
everything on my Wish List! Lucky, lucky me.)
I'm reading every response, and fear I'll be adding to the never-ending To Be Read
list again!

Michelle et al,
I'm reading "The Help," by Kathryn Stockett, for a book club--it's fabulous so far,
and I'm about 1/2 way through! I also brought home "Sent" because I loved "Found."
I also ordered Mark Crilley's "Akiko and the Missing Misp" because I couldn't find
it in local book stores. He's versatile and enjoyable to read, and my students love
Akiko and Billy Clikk!
I totally LOVE Wendy Mass, and will read anything by her. I think she's wonderful
at finding unusual plots and settings for her very appealing and interesting
characters. Have you read "A Mango Shaped Space?" It is wonderful and unique.
If you like Tony Abbott, read "The Postcard"--very interesting sleuthing/family
issues story. A memorable read.
Keep posting! I'm going to try some of your titles.
Regards,

I just finished listening to "Every Soul a Star" by Wendy Mass. I just started
listening to "The Rules of Survival" by Nancy Werlin. I hope to get to (audio) "If
I Stay" by Gayle Forman, "Firegirl" by Tony Abbott.
I am reading "Love You Hate You Miss You" by Elizabeth Scott. I am hoping to get to
"Sent" by Margaret Peterson Haddix, "Becoming Chloe" by Catherine Ryan Hyde,
"Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld, "The Mondtrumologist" by William James Henry,
"Everwild" by Neal Shusterman.
That's my line up for now. Who knows how many I'll actually get to.
I am being extremely optimistic! =]

Just wondering what you're all planning to read over the holidays.
I'm delving into Iain Pears' 'An Instance of the Fingerpost' since the third 'Girl
with...' of Larsson's trilogy won't be released until spring in this country.
