Books, books, BOOKS!!!

Thanks to everyone for their happy book birthday wishes yesterday. There were others celebrating yesterday besides me, and although I tried to wish them all a happy day on Twitter, I want to give a shout out here.

Varian Johnson - SAVING MADDIE

Jo Whittemore - FRONT PAGE FACE OFF

Jandy Nelson - THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE

Carrie Ryan - THE DEAD TOSSED WAVES

Wow, I need to go shopping and get reading!! Since I'm on the subject of books, I want to sing the praises of some great books I've read recently as well. 

I LOVED these books. Although they are all very different from each other, each one touched my heart in some way, and they are books I know I will remember. Definitely a sign of a great book for me.
