Wow - that one hurt, but I couldn't put it down. <br /><br />Lost a lot of sleep last night with the new YA book THE CHOSEN ONE by Carol Lynch Williams, which is remarkable - read it!Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12811523890920763782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-91452069521591693892009-05-20T12:32:06.680-07:002009-05-20T12:32:06.680-07:00Looks like lots of good reading in my future.

It is wonderful and funny and wonderfully funny. <br /><br />Almost every book keeps me up too late because I have this wonderful habit of picking up something new to read at 10 p.m. and then I don't want to stop. I tend to read most books like people watch movies - in one session.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-79409275635749347242009-05-19T18:19:28.093-07:002009-05-19T18:19:28.093-07:00Love this questions!

It's more the rule than the exception for me. :) But the two most recent books that kept me up extra late were <I>The Graveyard Book</I> by Neil Gaiman and <I>Chains</I> by Laurie Halse Anderson, both of which I read last month, I think.<br /><br />I know it'll be something else this month. I just borrowed Jhumpa Lahiri's <I>Unaccustomed Earth</I> from my mother-in-law and I'm expecting that to be a great one.Sarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-8808358466051088022009-05-19T17:17:52.329-07:002009-05-19T17:17:52.329-07:00I'm pretty sure the last one was The Wind-up Bird ...I'm pretty sure the last one was The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami.

Each time he finished one of the books, (and I was always eager for him to finish it so I could get started!) I started reading it, staying up WAY too late because I couldn't put it down.
