Member“Prom and Prejudice” by Elizabeth Eulberg – 231pp.
–A cute retelling of the classic “Pride and Prejudice” in a modern day prep-school. I don’t usually read too much secular YA fic, but after reading a friend’s review assuring that it was “clean”, I gave it a shot. I sort of wish some of the characters were more fleshed out, but I tend to like longer books anyway.
“Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Allies” by Christie Golden – 300pp.*
–I started this one before the read-a-thon, but wasn’t able to get it back from the library to finish it until last month.
“Sketchy Behavior” (Advanced Reader Copy) by Erynn Mangum – 224pp.
–A great YA novel about a 16-year-old girl who discovers she has a talent for art and unknowingly uses it to sketch a wanted criminal. When the police use her drawing to apprehend a man who matches the description, her life is turned upside down. I think Erynn Mangum really captured her protagonist’s teenage point of view and though the storyline is unusual, the writing makes it pretty believable.
“Pavement Chalk Artist” by Julian Beever – 110pp.
–If your library has this one, check it out! You may have seen Julian Beever’s 3D chalk art featured on tv or your newspaper, but this book describes the process behind these short-lived sidewalk art.
“Ransome’s Quest” by Kaye Dacus – 320pp.
–A very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I’d highly recommend these books, BUT don’t take it from me: You can download and read “Ransome’s Honor” for free (Kindle, Nook, and other formats available). Hurry, ’cause it ends August 15th! Links can be found at: kayedacus.com
“To Win Her Heart” by Karen Witemeyer – 347pp.
–I read this one in four hours … Karen Witemeyer is one of my favorite authors. I was wondering how there’d be a librarian in the 1800’s but it is all explained.
Teens and up.
“Maid to Match” by Deeanne Gist – 368pp.
–The first book I’ve read by this author. The unique premise of following servants’ lives in the famous Biltmore (sp?) Estate was neat … I’d definitely check out more books by Mrs. Gist.
16 and up for the romantic storyline …
“Twinkie Chan’s Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies” – 80pp.
–Kooky cute, this book is filled with *mostly* scarf patterns inspired by food. My favorite is the amigurumi radish scarf, but there are kleenex box holders, fingerless gloves, and other accessories all patterned after food.
“Knitted Wild Animals” by Sarah Keen – 128pp.
–This book shows you how to knit many different animals: lions, tigers, bears (panda, koala), moose, giraffes, elephants, etc. There is some shaping involved, so it’s probably best for intermediate level knitters, but if a beginner want to learn some new skills, a stuffed animal might be good to learn on, since you don’t have to worry too much about fit and sizing since it isn’t a garment.
“Surrender the Dawn” by MaryLu Tyndall – 320pp.
–Another satisfying ending to another trilogy. This one set during the War of 1812. 16 and up.
“Here Burns My Candle” by Liz Curtis Higgs – 300pp.*
–Sort of slow at the beginning, but it picks up around the middle. I’ll look out for the sequel of this Ruth and Naomi retelling in a Scottish Highland setting. Ages 16 and up.
Running Total: 8,539pp.
