Ally's 2009 Reading Goals

[Jeane]

tried Prodigal summer? very good or anything by Nicholas Evans.... which genre do you like?

[Jeane]

If you like historical fiction: The Historian, Labyrinthand Sepulchre. Very good once. The historian starts slow but has a very original way of writing about Dracula.

[Allison]

Do you like fantasy? You might like Graceling by Kristin Cashore.

I also recommend North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell and Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters.

Also...a newer author, Tasha Alexander has a series with 3 books out so far, the first called And Only to Deceive. They are very good.

[Allison]

I sniffed out an easy target ;)

But...miss Fiona, you are the queen of pushers, so you have no room to talk!

[Kristen]

What did you think of In The Woods? I was very disappointed with the ending.

[Becky]

I'd definitely recommend "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield and "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.

They are both excellent books!

Sad to hear it Allison, I´m planning to read In the Wood and was all excited about that

[Carol]

It´s disappointing when a plot has no resolution :( I´ll give it a try sometime, anyway.
