The Girl Who Chased the Moon. Mar. 2010 <br />After her mother's death, 17-year-old Emily goes to live with her grandfather in Mullaby, NC, where the dead drop little notes and the wallpaper remakes itself daily. <br /><br />Bohjalian, Chris. Secrets of Eden. Feb. 2010. <br />Alice gets baptized and goes home to her husband, who kills her and then himself. Her minister understandably suffers a spiritual crisis. But is Alice's death what is seems? With a multicity tour. Big. <br /><br />Berg, Elizabeth. The Last Time I Saw You. Apr. 2010.<br />After 45 years, a woman returns to her first high school reunion. Ripe for discussion (we all remember high school), so it’s good that there are giveaways at book club events. With an eight-city tour to Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis, and Kansas City; should be big.<br /><br />Lamott, Anne. Imperfect Birds. Apr. 2010.<br />Smart, beautiful, and a star athlete, 17-year-old Rosie is every proud parent’s dream. But it turns out that she’s been lying to her parents and is in danger of drifting into the darkness of drugs and alcohol. Lamott should do this well.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600670648603318536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-55585830452517783672009-11-06T18:06:29.375-05:002009-11-06T18:06:29.375-05:00Letter Between Us sounds terrific!

I'm not sure why I haven't read it before--it's sounds as though it will be exactly what I love to read.<br /><br />I started The Help by Kathryn Stockett this week (incredible writing, great voice!), finished Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry (strangest ghost-twist I've read), and I'm listening to Innocent Traitor: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey by Alison Weir. <br /><br />I really enjoy reading your book reviews, by the way, although I don't always stop to comment.Joan Morahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152990243138876941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-3936922886650181142009-11-06T11:22:44.801-05:002009-11-06T11:22:44.801-05:00These are some great finds.
