Delightful YA novel that is significantly better than the movie. Gives a lot of insight into the character Simon, who is even more likable here b/c he is less manipulative. Gives much more depth into the relationship of Simon and his pen pal Blue.

This is another one of my daughter's favorite books. We do all the sounds to it and when we're done we always reread it again and again.

This book follows very closely along with the first season of True Blood with the exception of the characters Tara and Jessica being absent. Like the show, features great cast of characters well drawn from the outset. The book is told in first person from Sookie's perspective, so you get an even better sense of her point of view than in the show. The audiobook is especially well done in terms of Sookie's accent, attitude, etc.

Classic book of essays covering his family life, years as struggling artist working odd jobs, and, as the title suggests, his time in France and attempts to learn the language. Witty, self-deprecating. Sedaris' audiobooks recommended to get a sense of his personality.

Susan Wiggs does it again! A great story to get caught up in.

Fun read with interesting characters. Enjoyed.

A great look at the history of the Memphis Zoo. Great pictures and tons of info found here!

Another funny story featuring Miss Julia. This series is funny, touching, and just a good read.

This was the first book I've read by this author after having seen some of the tv/film adaptations of her work. The books really bring the characters to life, and it is intriguing the way that they are told in first person from one person's point of view. Hard to say how historically accurate these are, but they do seem accurate in a broad sense. Actually encourages interest in the historical subject matter. Makes for a great summer read.

This is one of my daughter's absolute favorite books. She has me read this to her all the time.
