The Perfect Gift

Books make the perfect gift, don't you think? Easy to wrap, easy to ship, and they last - day after day, year after year, right there on the bookshelf to enjoy again and again. Or pass on to someone else.

Here are some of the books I gave for Christmas this year:



THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE, by Jandy Nelson
Dial/ 2010


THE HELP, by Kathryn Stockett
Putnam/ 2009


THE HEART IS NOT A SIZE, by Beth Kephart
Harper Teen/ 2010


THE DISTANT HOURS, by Kate Morton
Atria/ 2010


THE OUTSIDE OF A HORSE, by Ginny Rorby
Dial/ 2010


MINI MYSTERIES, by Rick Walton
American Girl/ 2004


INTROVERT POWER, By Laurie Helgoe
Sourcebooks/ 2008


BINK & GOLLIE, by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee
Candlewick Press/ 2010



A DOG'S PURPOSE, by W. Bruce Cameron

I have read and loved most of the books above. All but two of them. Anyone care to guess which two I haven't read yet?


Merry Christmas, Everyone.

Happy Holidays and Happy Reading!!

    I have no idea which of these books you haven't read. I haven't read any of them, but I bet they're good ones, and I'm always looking for good books to read. Thanks for pointing them out.

    Yes, THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE and THE HELP are wonderful, fantastic reads. Of the books above, the only two I haven't read yet are the MINI-MYSTERIES (but it sounded perfect for the one I picked it for) and THE DISTANT HOURS, by Kate Morton. But I just read and loved her last book, THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN, so I gave this one as a present to someone who also loved that one, hoping her newest is just as good.
    And BINK AND GOLLIE? oh gosh. It's hilarious! These are all great books!
