winter break books

[meory]

Winter break is almost over, and it's been lovely. Other than the tonsillectomy, but that also had its benefits in that I got three weeks out of work. I started feeling lots better after a week and a half. Yay!
Books read over break:
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery (fiction) - Really amazing. About an apartment full of rich people

Thank you for sharing these. Added a few to my to-read list. I particularly like the sound of The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets. I've been wanting to read The Sugar Queen because I like the author's earlier novel, Garden Spells.

Both The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets and The Sugar Queen are wonderful! The Lost Art pulled me in immediately because of its similarity to I Capture the Castle -- both feature a witty 18-year-old female narrator living in an ancient, falling-apart house with a peculiar family. The Sugar Queen is very happy and magical. I will have to read Garden Spells.
