And one more

8. Knit Two by Kate Jacobs
Easy, fun read. Felt like a natural sequel, which seems rare these days. Liked hearing about what all the characters were doing. Happy ending a bit too perfect. 7/10

Already running behind...

3. The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt

Epic, magical, wonderful writing. Loved the grimmish fairy tales. Much easier read than Possession. Favourite so far, but I guess it's early going yet. 9/10

4. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
(Re-read) Touching but had trouble with black voices being written by white woman. Didn't seem authentic sometimes. Some parts of the character's didn't seem to mesh well. 7/10

5. Pirate by Ted Bell
The new Dirk Pitt. Not! More like a rogue-ish James Bond. 6/10

6. Peony in Love by Lisa See
Really getting into it until the main character became a ghost. I hate when that happens. Still pretty readable. 6.5/10

7. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
(Re-read) It's an amazing, almost-unbelievable story that's sweet, funny and sad. Every time I read this book I cry harder than the last time. I love trying to follow this unique boy's thoughts and ideas. Might be in my Top 10. 9.5/10
