I think I might have enjoyed Peter Nimble more if I didn't have The Night Gardener to compare it to. I feel like this about Andrew Smith's work. After reading Grasshopper Jungle I'm afraid to read anything else, because I can't imagine what could stand up to it.

I am currently reading Jandy Nelson's The Sky Is Everywhere - so I am intrigued by I'll give you the sun. My 13 year old girl loved Zombie BB. :) Will have to check that one out.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-19872240212586734212015-03-23T19:53:04.476-07:002015-03-23T19:53:04.476-07:00Isn't it amazing!

I'll Give you the Sun is certainly powerful. The ages didn't always ring true for me but if I just read and immersed myself in the story it was amazing. I loved Rain Reign. Something in that book really spoke to me. Sounds like your break was wonderful in many ways. What a time with your family. Such important time.

It is always a good thing to get together. My parents passed a long time ago, but my daughter and I take the kids back home to visit my brother & family & cousins, etc. It's always fun & we want her kids to know their family too. It's hard to be far away. You have some great books here. I just wrote to another blogger that I need to read I'll Give You The Sun. Too many books to read! Thanks for all, & have a great week back!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-81049710034733224922015-03-23T03:23:29.830-07:002015-03-23T03:23:29.830-07:00I'm glad you had a great spring break.
