You so rock.<BR/><BR/>M (13) is streaky on her choices. She'll read nothing but fantasy for a while, then nothing but historical fiction, then nothing but contemporary fiction . . . So my guess is that some of the kids might even like it better than they thought they would.<BR/><BR/>You're so right on there not being one book for all readers, though.Kelly Finemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13382266400862288242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-56361575286598487122008-07-17T14:37:47.963-04:002008-07-17T14:37:47.963-04:00Or, following Tadmack's line of thought, chocolate covered strawberrys?

I can't figure out how to email you, but if you could email me I'd love to send you a copy of my latest from Random House Children's Books, Thumbellina, Tiny Runaway Bride. Thanks in advance Barbara@barbaraensor.comBarbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08143021688136187203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-59819481847744513362008-07-16T21:47:46.551-04:002008-07-16T21:47:46.551-04:00Thanks Gail. I've also been finding the responses interesting. Especially as it always seems that the thing that someone mentions as why they didn't like a book is often the same thing that someone else <EM>did</EM> like. The thing I've really understood from this book club so far is that there is no one book that appeals to everyone.MotherReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-82388219745076314172008-07-16T19:30:23.543-04:002008-07-16T19:30:23.543-04:00The sugar cookies were a fantastic idea! And your readers' feelings about realistic fiction--very interesting. <BR/><BR/>I've received my questions and hope to have answers for you by tomorrow night.gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01673131515563387968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-85383253966836583252008-07-16T16:03:05.304-04:002008-07-16T16:03:05.304-04:00I hadn't heard of this series, I'll have to check it out. Have you read Tamora Pierce - her Circle of Magic series is fantasy, but the main characters also have to make decisions that affect their future.<BR/>Anyhow, for snacks you need travelling food - trail mix or granola bars.TrulyBookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05161939737925672110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-41259905873251555472008-07-16T14:42:18.566-04:002008-07-16T14:42:18.566-04:00Ooh, <I>The Dark Hills Divide?</I> Boy, that sounds like two scoops melon ball sized scoops of dark chocolate ice cream on a big cookie... dark hills, you know...TadMackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-22657942744070730982008-07-16T14:30:51.929-04:002008-07-16T14:30:51.929-04:00I'm hosting it for my seventh grade Girl Scout troop. I have 15 in the troop, and expect about half at each meeting. The girls have really enjoyed it - so much so that we may continue through the school year with one book a month (instead of every two weeks). <BR/><BR/>I bought the sugar cookies, but I did make the icing and decorate them. That was surprising enough.MotherReaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-47751284531987255302008-07-16T13:08:52.901-04:002008-07-16T13:08:52.901-04:00I love that you're hosting a kids' summer book club--is that you, personally, or through the library?<BR/><BR/>And I just know you made those cookies from scratch . . .Robin Brandehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07971393580756079934noreply@blogger.com
