This is going to be brief, but I just wanted to say that (as you may have noticed if you read my blog...) I have been reading a TON of books lately. A big part of this is that I've read a lot of children's/adolescent books, and we all know how fast those are to read. So, in the way of updating and also to give Lindsey some ideas of things that might be able to capture her interest, here is a list of my favorites/suggestions:
The Wednesday Wars, by Gary D. Schmidt
Al Capone Does My Shirts, by Gennifer Choldenko
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver (obviously not a kids' book--one of my absolute favorites)
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
Wishful Drinking, by Carrie Fisher (funny, interesting and sometimes crude)
Digging to America, by Anne Tyler (my second favorite after The Accidental Tourist)
Elantris, by Brandon Sanderson
the Fablehaven books, by Brandon Mull
The Westing Game, by Ellen Rankin
Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow
The Ruby in the Smoke, by Philip Pullman
Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card
Totally recommend them all, and especially the ones in bold. Let me know if you read any of them!
