January Recap of Books Read

Here's what I managed for this month:

The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
True Believer by Virginia Euwer Wolff
Make Lemonade by Virginia Euwer Wolf
Forever in Blue by Ann Brashares
The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd
The Writing Life by Annie Dillard
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley

My favorite? Not counting The Book Thief, a re-read of one of my top tens of last year, next in line would be Speak. I also really enjoyed The Secret Hour. It appears I'm still on my YA kick, huh? Wow, my brain just seems to be rebelling against "real" books! :)

War and Peace update: Yes, I'm still reading this, plugging along slowly. I'm on page 254, which puts me just starting Part 3 of Book One. Hmmm. Behind already with the Yahoo group, but there's always a chance that I may catch up!
