    Girl at War and Men We Reaped are the two I wanted to know about the most - and they were your faves! Noted! :)

    I've treated myself to Girl at War for my upcoming trip to Croatia as there have been so many stunning reviews. I can't wait to read it. I also like the look of that non-fiction selection...

    I'm so glad you had a great reading month, Jen! You and the other Socratic Salon gals have really gotten me interested in both The Shore and Girl at War - GAH! Y'all are killing me! There are so many books!

    First of all...love your flashing graphics! I'm impressed! Glad you had a great reading month! The Shore was a good one for me as well in May....and I read Boo in May, but it didn't really do it for me. Looking forward to reading Girl at War before the year is out.

      I loved parts of Boo but there were parts that didn't work for me as well. I have mixed feelings! I think we *might* chat about it on The Socratic Salon. That always helps me work through my thoughts.
