Read in September

[Ginger]

I love her blog, and she looks like Peppermint Patty meets Rosa Kleg - I mean tough, cynical and ironic. I can't think of a more suitable commentator for the age of Blackwater.

[Alexandra]

These are the YA/older kids books I've read this month, and enjoyed:

Coraline by Neil Gaiman
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope (re-read)
Stardust by Neil Gaiman (re-read)

Anyone else read good YA books recently?

[Melissa]

Al Capone Does my Shirts (I really enjoyed)
Chasing Vermeer (eh)

Janis, is Stardust the book the recent movie was based on?

[Alexandra]

Yes, this Stardust book by Neil Gaiman is what the movie Stardust was based on. The movie had some changes - of course - a couple things condensed, a couple others altered, but over all it was fairly true to the book. If you liked the movie, you'll probably enjoy the book.

The Giver (Lowry)
Guyaholic (Mackler)
Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of Nature (Brande)
