A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck. Another foray into YA-ville.

Obedience was quite good and I recommend it.

I just finished Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson. I heard The Nights in Radanthe by Nicholas Sparks was going to be a movie coming out in October. So, I'm reading that right now. Both are good.

I just read Wake by Lisa McMann in one sitting. Interesting premise, fun read.

I finished Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill less than an hour ago (checked it out after reading about it on this thread) have to agree with previous posters-great book! Full of unforgettable characters and a "new" twist on hauntings.

I loved it, especially since Wall keeps Flaubert's italicizing cliches (from his Dictionary of Received Ideas?).

Ooh, Manderley, I LOVED The Poisonwood Bible. I remember reading an interview with BK where she said that she actually wrote the WHOLE book 5 times, once from each of the 5 perspectives before picking and choosing which character would tell which part of the book. Can you imagine?
