Unfortunately, I haven't read any of these books. :o( But of course I would like to read them all! I better go to the nearest bookstore and hunt these books down...
Which books have you read? What did you think of them? :o)

hangs head in shame: I cannot think of anything I've read lately! What's wrong with me? I should take notes from your vast selection and recommendations.
Hmm . . . I haven't heard of any of these before.
Hi, Natalie. :D Oh yes, you should definitely read a book soon. I want to know what you read! What are your kids reading these days?
Hi, Natasha! I am particularly interested in reading The Knife of Never Letting Go. I have heard so many good things about it. :D
I haven't read any of them either...but I really want to read pretty much ALL of them.
