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
