Toad Cottages & Shooting Stars:

Jody says: Great for aunties too! And anyone looking for fun, creative things to do and make with kids!

Morning Cup of Yoga
by Jean Goad Treschel
$5
Note: This is a GREAT price for this book (dropped from $12.95 to $5.00). This little spiral bound book contains a 15 minute routine and includes an audio CD. I believe the book is going out of print, so if you want one, speak now!

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Jody says: A long-time favorite!

Hannah—

Before I Fall
by Lauren Oliver

Hannah says: Reminiscent of Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It's about a popular mean girl who dies, reliving her last day for a week, and the changes she makes to finally make things right. Every teen should read this.

Shanghai Girls

City of Bones

Jennifer—

Faithful Place
by Tana French
$25.95
Jen says: That's right, the new Tana French book comes out THIS MONTH!!!! This one focuses on Frank Mackey. From what I've read so far, it's going to be just as good as Into the Woods and The Likeness.

Jen says: For those of you tired of me prattling on about Scaletta's first book, Mudville, I now have a new Scaletta book to prattle on about! See Youth Yak for more!

Gail—

Ojibwe in Minnesota
by Anton Treuer
$14.95
Gail says: This is a must read for people of Minnesota. You not only read about the history of the Ojibwe people but also learn about their life today.

Case of the Missing Servant
by Tarquin Hall
$14
Gail says: This is reminiscent of the Number One Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith, set in Africa. This detective is from India and it's a fun story.

Gail says: Kay is a Texas senator writing about early heroines and heroines of today.


book
 

Linda—

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
by Katherine Howe
$15.99
Linda says: Written by a descendant of Elizabeth Proctor, who survived the Salem witch trials, and Elizabeth Howe, who did not, the book alternates between telling the story of the women accused of being witches in 1692 and of Connie Wilton, a present-day PhD candidate studying the witch trials. This book is mesmerizing in its portrayal of women in the 17th century as contrasted with today.

Irreplaceable
by Stephen Lovely
$14.99

Strength in What Remains
by Tracy Kidder
$16


book
 

Sally—

Strength in What Remains
by Tracy Kidder
$16
Sally says: Kidder tells the story of Deo, a refugee from genocide in Burundi who arrives in New York City with $200, no contacts, and without speaking English. Deo's story is very difficult, but important. A careful reading has the potential to be life-changing.

Half Broke Horses
by Jeannette Walls
on audio $39.99
Sally says: The author of The Glass Castle returns with a novel based on the life of her maternal grandmother.


book
 

Cindie—

Elmore Leonard's 10 Rules of Writing
by Elmore Leonard
$14.95

Cindie says: I read this in preparation for my Teen Writing Group. My favorite rule is Number 10: Try to leave out the parts the reader tends to skip. Leonard refers to this by John Steinbeck's term, "Hooptedoodle." Brilliant! (Oops. The ! is a violation of rule number 5...)

Bronislava Nijinska Early Memoirs
by Bronislava Nijinska
$27.95
Cindie says: Novel research and an historical treasure.
