 I simply love the act of reading, and I will read anything, including the cereal box (which I have noticed advertising books lately!). From the few mysteries I read each year to the many kids books that clutter my bedside table, my tastes tend to lean toward the comedic or light novels that have happy endings but good depth at the same time. My nieces and nephews in the picture shown are very important to me, and many of my picks are books I have read with them! Annie is 12 and an avid reader; the books she's been talking most about recently are "Witch and Wizard" by James Patterson and "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Christopher and Katy are the twins of the family, 10 years old now!, who love the Matt Christopher books, the "Little House on the Prairie" series, as well as the "Judy Moody" & "Stink" books by MacDonald. Lauren (Lulu:) is 6 already, and is a little lover of "Mercy Watson" and reading picture books to her younger cousins. Her newest favorite is Nate the Great is 7 and becoming a strong reader with a hearty library; we started off on the "We Both Read" series where I had a page to read, and then it was his turn. Ashley, a spunky 5 year old, loves Bible stories and memorized an entire book in rhyme, "The Big Tidyup" when she was 3. Nicole is our little rebel at only 3 years old, but she will always behave for a story from her aunt. Luke has hardly sat for one minute since learning to walk, but at 18 months, he loves to lift a flap or two. And Suzie (not pictured, just over 3 months old) will be read "Goodnight Moon" to over this, her first holiday season, as her cousin Annie was read that same book 12 years ago.  $14.00 ISBN-13: 9780385341004Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Dial Press Trade Paperback, 05/01/2009 I didn't necessarily want to love this book after everyone in the store read it and liked it so much... But I did ! I must say the characters, the setting, the letter writing format- they all won me over. I cried in the middle and at the end which for me is just enough and not too much. If you have a day or two to devote to some lovely people, pick up "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" and read it all at once.
