Hannah's Dream

This is a good one!

The Wednesday Letters

I read this book last week. Fast, simple read. Uplifting and inspiring.

My New Obsession...Who Knew Vampires Were So Entertaining?

Melissa, you are partially to blame...I am about halfway through the first book in the series and I just can't get enough. I didn't even bring my schoolbag home today because I knew that I wouldn't do any work...I just want to read all night long!!!

And is it normal for me to become skeptical of pale-skinned strangers I pass on the streets...

The Best Book In The World!

There are lots of good books out there. Tons even. But I'm currently reading the best book in the world. Or, at least the best book since A Tale of Two Cities. (Naah! It's way better than that. Beheadings are cliché.)

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is unexpected, hilarious, tragic, revealing, self-deprecating, and critical -- self critical, white critical, Indian critical, small-town critical, critical condition, critical thinking, critireticular, criti-rikki-tikki-tavi, (etc.). It's as if Holden Caufield, minus the serial killer tendencies, stepped into a John Hughes' film set on a reservation.

And despite its literary bent and the fact that it won like every award in the world, its not plodding, pompous, pretentious, pedantic, preachy, or poopy. It reads like a rocket.
