  1. Study in Charlotte and The Way I Used to Be sound particularly good. I'll look forward to finding out what you think! I am in the middle of a John Sandford novel right now. And I started Dani Shapiro's Still Writing.

  4. I don't read much YA these days, but The Great Hunt looks good because I do like fantasy, and The Way I Used to Be is similar to Speak, and my younger daughter used to love this book, so I read it myself and enjoyed it too.

    1. I've been enjoying the YA I've read recently. I read Speak years ago. Some of these YA book jackets look gorgeous & are really enticing, too
