Someone I am is waiting for courage. The one I want, the one I will become will catch me.

It's pictures like this that help me remember that spring will be back. I hate this weather, and just wish I could stay inside under the covers until spring. Hopefully the grounddog (as my students call him) was right and we'll have spring early.

Anyway, here are some more books:

6. Multiple Choice by Claire Cook You know, I didn't really like this book. It would have been better if it had been longer. It was about a mother who tries to keep her relationship with her college freshman daughter, while she her self goes back to school. They end up at the same radio station for an internship and are asked to a show together. It was an easy read, but no need to rush out and buy/borrow it.

7. Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner- I really liked this one. It's the story of four women, 3 of them with new babies and one whose baby died. It's the story of their friendship and the things that they go through with their families and children. I've read two of Jennifer's other books, and highly recommend them.

8. Dreamland*- Sarah Dessen is by far my favorite young adult author (someone asked me the other day who it was, and I couldn't think at all who it was.) She writes about high school aged girls and the real life things that they go through. This one is about Caitlin, a junior, whose sister Cass runs away on the day of her birthday. In an attempt to be something that Cass wasn't, Caitlin joins the cheerleading squad, and on the night she was supposed to get asked out by a football player, she meets Rogerson and begins an intense relationship with him, involving drugs and abuse.
