Hi, Jeanette. I just recently signed up for your newsletter in hopes to add some intriguing literature to my book shelves this year. I'm all for the new one by Tony Morrison. I gave it to my sister-in-law this past Christmas and she said it's a must read. So I'm on board with that in particular but any of the others may spark an inquisitiveness as well. I'll be back in soon to check in bye and have a wonderful weekend everyone.

I stand corrected! Twilight is pulling ahead. Does everyone have this book? The local library should have it or you can get it on Amazon.com for about $5 plus shipping and handling. I just happened to find it at a thrift store for 69 cents. Yea, i was lucky!! i will give the poll another day then close it.

Oh, no, please tell me its not Twilight. I'll have to pry it from the arms of my teenage daughter and then I'll carry it around like Linus with his blanket, as she's done since her older sister introduced her to it over a year ago and since the movie. NOoooooooo!!!!!
