Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
5.0
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.
Journal Revolution: Rise Up & Create! Art Journals, Personal Manifestos and Other Artistic Insurrections by Karen Dinino, Linda Woods
3.0
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.
The Accidental Mother by Rowan Coleman
4.0
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.
Sweet Revenge: A Culinary Murder Mystery by Diane Mott Davidson
4.0
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.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems

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.
Deadly Appraisal by Jane K. Cleland
3.0
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.
The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama

How can you not like this man. I have high praise for much of what he is professing here. He has my vote.
What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? by Steve Jenkins
4.0
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.
