Fiction+Book+Discussion

Please respond to the following question:

Gayle - I am reading __The Girls__ -- It is fabulous!
 * What book are you reading?**

Jane - I am reading __The Whole World Over__ by Julia Glass. She also wrote __Three Junes__. So far it is good -- well-written with intersting characters.

Cia is reading a personal book right now on rightsizing and getting my house and things organized and in order. It is an exciting prospect for me as I want to start out the new year and am ready for taking on this project

Karee - I just finished reading __The Choice__ by Nicholas Sparks. It was wonderful and deals with something that many of us at North High are experiencing right now. Judy - Our book club just finished __Double Bind__ (don't remember the author) that I enjoyed a lot! Great ending -surprised us all!'

 Susan - I read The Invention of Hugo Cabret before it won the Caldecott Award. I hoped it would win something, but didn't expect it to. It is a delightful story appropriate for grades 4 - 8.

Edie - A book that has "stayed" with me all year is __Life As We Knew It__ by Pfeffer. It wasn't always a "comfortable" read because she tackles "science fiction" subject matter in a very realistic "daily" manner. I've tried other books similar to this one, but I don't believe that they have been as well-written or as involving.

Susan - I just finished "A Seer of Shadows" by Avi. Avi can not write a bad book. He writes historical fiction, fantasy, realistic fiction and they're all good. This book is a ghost story. The ghost has been invited into the living world through photographs and she wants revenge.
