Eeek - 'Unbroken' is up on the nightstand, and while I am somewhat of a student of the Pacific theater I am really not sure how I'll do with the POW portion. But I guess how I'll do is nothing compared to how they all survived it, the least I can do is learn more about it.

The others look fascinating, 'Brown Bear' appear to be something that could be a classic for generations to come? (Sort of like 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' for me?!)

Sending you a smile Miss Pretty,

Sarah's Key was amazing. I just finished it not too long ago. I tried so hard to get into Unbroken, but I've put it aside for now.

I'm trying to think of what my toddler's favorite books are at the moment, but the only thing coming to mind is her potty books. Haha, we're knee deep in potty training over here if you didn't guess. Otherwise, Baby Beluga is fun if you're the singing type. I can't stand Raffi's voice, so the book exposes my kid to the cute pictures and idea of the song, minus Raffi. Score!

Great stuff!!!! I also loved Unbroken, and Amazon has been very insistent that I would like Sarah's Key, though I hadn't taken the plunge yet. But now I'm thinking I should!!! : )

Cutting for Stone is the first I always jump to recommend... also loved Jonathan Franzen's last two!

I totally suggest the Help if you haven't read it. It is WAY better than the movie, and a book that I still think about.

I purchased a copy of Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear before LB's party with a CD read by Gweneth...currently running on a loop in the car.

I had heard many recommendations Sarah's Key. I love books that change narrators/viewpoints...a must for this slow reader!

I've been sucked back into all things Daphne du Mauirer--again. Damn that Rebecca!! Cliched terms, yes, but, beautiful, haunting and brooding must be my favorite terms for books, and, thus, my favorite type of books. I know, earth shattering.

Love it! Just wait until "brown bear brown bear" is playing over and over in your head because it becomes a favorite in many households ;) I am definitely envious of your book collection for YOU- I am dying to just read ONE good book, but two little girls want to play dress up and go on adventures- oh mommy hood! Haha! Thanks for sharing!

I've been hearing a lot about Unbroken. I plan on starting Wolf Hall next. The Brown Bear series was a huge one in our house (my daughter is three and onto Madeline now)! I am a new follower and enjoy your blog!

I really loved This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. And, Henry (Mama) really enjoys But Not The Hippopotamus by Sandra Boynton.

Great to know more about Sarah's Key! I am reading The Paris Wife, about Ernest Hemmingway's first wife, and really enjoying it. Book clubbing about it in a new Dallas group this March! I saw the "...Blue Horses" at the Nasher gift shop this weekend and almost purchased it for myself. I'll have to go back for it!

I loved Sarah's Key-and haunting is one of the best ways to describe it!

I've been going back and forth between purchasing Sarah's Key, and I believe you just sealed the deal for me with your thought provoking description. Thank you!

Ha, I've got both Unbroken and Sarah's Key on deck in my Kindle. Waiting for me to finish my book about North Korea. Very uplifting stuff :)
