Like Kari, I've been on a YA kick during the month of December...Here is what I've read: The Trailblazing Life of Daniel Boone: How Early Americans Took to the Road by Cheryl Harness (published by Nat'l Geographic--interesting read to me--my early Hopkins family traveled and settled in the same Missouri area as Boone and family at about the same time); The Unrivalled Spangles by Karen Wallace; The Ramsay Scallop and The Bediuns' Gazelle by Frances Temple (sadly, she died before she wrote the 3rd book of this intended trilogy--picked these up for cheapo at Books A Million). I'm currently reading Primrose Past: The 1848 Journal of Young Lady Primrose by Caroline Rose Hunt (from the famous oil Hunt family of Dallas--this is an autographed copy I picked up at Half Price Books--will put it up to give to Olivia someday because her mom works for the Hunt family) and Voyage by Adele Geras. (Does anyone else read more than 1 book at a time??)
YA titles still to read are: Keeping Corner by Kashmira Sheth; 100 Cupboards by N. D. Wilson (this was an advance copy I picked up at AASL); Mable Riley: A Reliable Record of Humdrum Peril and Romance by Marthe Jocelyn; Willow Run by Patricia Reilly Giff; Stolen Voices: Young People's War Diaries, From World War I to Iraq edited by Zlata Filipovic and Melanie Challenger; Green Jasper and Blaze of Silver by K. M. Grant (books 2 and 3 in The De Granville Trilogy--highly recommend, esp. if you love stories about horses and the medieval period).
Most of these are books I've rec'd from publishers.
