BOOKS
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline l'Engle
For Shelf Discovery - The joy of A Wrinkle in Time! I was crying by the end, tears of joy. Yes. Yes. Yes. Love is what will defeat evil. So many comparisons between Meg and Lucy Pevensie
Danny, the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl
For Shelf Discovery - You know, I have never been a big fan of Dahl. Still not.
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
My childhood favorite still holds its own. I remember why I loved this book ... it just made me believe that everything was going to be o.k. I didn't get a ton of practical advice on being a girl from my mom, and Judy Blume and her characters filled the void.
Mason's Retreat by Christopher Tilghman
I don't even remember who recommended this to me. Which is too bad, because I will take their recommendations with a grain of salt from now on. It wasn't bad, but I know there are so many better books on my list.
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
Brilliant. The man and the book were equally compelling. Self made outdoorsman. Devoted family man. Honorable Police Commissioner. Governor. Hero of the Battle of San Juan Hill. Vice-President. Never took a bribe. And that is just in the first volume of three. What I am beginning to understand is that what made him great came from inside. Who knew anyone disliked Jefferson?
Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume

I Am The Cheese by Robert Cormier
For Shelf Discovery
Spectacular. And, yet again, I am angry with the local and school librarians from my hometown for not pointing me in the direction of these great works. I will be giving this to my son.
