I picked this book up in the young adult section of the library. It was on the recommended list. I thought it was fantastic. Told from the perspective of a 16 year old writing in her journal as the world suddenly copes with a disaster and how her family pulls together to cope and survive. Loved it.

Sorry--I guess I had in my mind something different. I think the ideas are awesome but just not me. Maybe that's the point--about branching out. Neat ideas-- I hope to pick it up again in a couple months to see if I get re-inspired.

I enjoyed this book. A higher level of chick-lit. Loved the kids in the story, and loved the personal growth the main character derived from them.

I have taken a little hiatus after the holidays from reading. Needed to get back into the swing of things with a light mystery. I have always enjoyed her mysteries. Must be the food part of it. Anyways good mind escape.

Another funny treat from Mo Willems-seriously if you have not picked up any of his children's reads for your preschooler you are missing out.

This is a gorgeous book. I would have liked to see more average homes of book collectors. I know they are out there.

Good light reading. I think I am drawn to these mysteries since they focus around an antiques dealer and I am such an avid antique junkie.

How can you not like this man. I have high praise for much of what he is professing here. He has my vote.

My son loves trying to guess the animals on this one. I am always in favor of a book that encourages the child to participate and learn.
