LOVED The Graveyard Book! Some of these titles sound intriguing...I'm going to check them out, thanks! I did check out the Starbucks one...sounds good. How did you like it?

Wonderful list of books!

I've never read any of those, but I checked them out and will definitely be adding to my list. Thanks for the referrals (and I will come back and use your link. I've bookmarked your post)! My T13

Okay, this week is showing me that I need to get out of my comfort zone with books, LOL. I only recognize one book (well the author and the subject) and that's only because of children's show on PBS, LOL

Sounds like a great list, though :)

Good list. I just finished "Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned" by Wells Tower.

It was fabulous.

Janet: The Graveyard Book is definitely a favorite. My husband and I read it with our 11-year-old and all 3 of us cried like babies at the end! I also loved the Starbucks one. I don't usually read biographical stuff, but this was really good. I read on Amazon that some people didn't like it, and I'm puzzled because I thought it was great.

Alan: Thanks for the tip. I'm always looking for something new.

Wow, neat list! Sounds like you've had some really good stuff come your way lately.

Andi said...

Yeah, life's pretty good. Work sucks, but real life makes up for it!
