Here are my three favorites:
That would be chocolate on Hannah's face. There was a candy bar within easy reach of little fingers. |

In other news, I've decided to start an A-Z Reading Challenge. I've seen this on several blogs and it looks interesting... and challenging. Basically you read a book for each letter of the alphabet. With 'X' in can be a letter anywhere in the title instead of the first letter of the title.
Here's my list...
A - Atlas Shrugged
B - The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver
C - The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
D -
E - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (Thanks Claudia!)
F - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
G -
I - The Iliad by Homer
J -
K -
L - Lord of the Flies by William Golding
M - A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt (I loved his brother Frank McCourt so I'm giving him a try.)
N -
O - Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
P -
Q -
R -
S - Silas Marner by George Eliot
T - Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
U - Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
V -
X -
Y -
Z -
Italic books are books I've read forever ago and can't remember exactly how they end. Clearly I have some gaps in my list...do you have any recommendations? I don't like any self-help or Christian books (unless it's Corrie ten Boom, etc.) And other than Of Mice and Men I don't like Steinbeck or Faulkner. Otherwise I'm open for suggestions!
By the way, if you have a list I highly recommend Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns.
