I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts on the new Perrotta and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

As it turns out, the short story collection from Penguin DID arrive, as did book 3 in Sarah Rees Brennan's Demon trilogy, so both of them will probably make it into the final cut. I also ended up buying a copy of Tom Rachman's The Imperfectionists for good measure. Nothing is worse than running out of books to read on vacation-- I know, because it happened to me a few years ago and books are *expensive* in the Caribbean!As the Crowe Flies and Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110661562901480120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-75292559990949192902011-06-12T18:46:08.936-04:002011-06-12T18:46:08.936-04:00interesting selections-of these I have read only t...interesting selections-of these I have read only the Graham Greene book-many years ago I read a number of his booksMel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-36262069586867084822011-06-12T18:19:42.427-04:002011-06-12T18:19:42.427-04:00Deciding on books is one of the toughest parts whe...Deciding on books is one of the toughest parts when packing for vacation. So many books and so little room! For young adult books, I recently read The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. It has a lot of play on words and is an adult crossover.

For YA fiction, it's about as good as it gets. And you know I read a boatload of YA fiction for my work... Now, granted, if you're at all squeamish about sexual references and swearing, it's possibly not for you, but if you're cool (as I am) with all that, the language is gorgeous, so so funny, and the characters individuals and so empathetic-yet-imperfect, and the whole journey just fast and fun. <br />And may I say (green eyes gazing sidelong) that when you return from snorkelling in Anguilla, I'd love to chat about both The Dovekeepers and Caleb's Crossing.<br />Safe journey, good times,<br />LLaurie @ What She Readhttp://whatsheread.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-79257208724788088092011-06-11T20:54:56.888-04:002011-06-11T20:54:56.888-04:00Born Under A Lucky Moon by Dana Precious.
