bundle up and head to library; I'll make tea
Frightful weather looming? It's time for some recommendations:
I picked up Turning Angel last week, an audio to clean to. It's a little gritty - as murder mysteries tend to be - but Iles is a master of spinning creepy Southern tales. (I love Dick Hill's southern accent on CD, deep and low.)
Zack picked this one up at his school's book fair and inhaled it over the next 2 days. Not bad for a 7 year old. Little Artie is based on Arthurian legend, and we can't wait for more in the series.
Lexi picked up A Crooked Kind of Perfect at the Scholastic book fair too, and unlike her recent book cast offs - she really loses interest fast, it seems - she finished this in days and has been begging me to read it too.
Got a little one underfoot? A scad of little children? This is one of my favorite little books about faith and hope, one my children memorized and read to me until the board book fell apart.
(I can't deny it gives me a little boost too.)
And I'm off this morning to pick up this gem from my library, from one of my favorite authors, Haven Kimmel. (I'm picking it up in both forms so I can read before bed and listen to it while make cranberry sauce tomorrow. I can't wait.)

I'm especially intrigued by the last one. Must add it to my list and update my goodreads.com profile.
Happy Thanksgiving, my sweet friend.
i'll have to look into the knights one! thanks for the suggestions
Maybe if I were in your personal book group...Could I schedule monthly meetings at your house to discuss things we've read? That might be a good motivator. :D
(Lots of rape/forensic chatter...)
I am loving Iodine.
