Oddly enough, the last book I couldn't put down was on a subject that should have made it more putdownable but didn't - it's Tears of the Desert by Halima Bashir (the author's memoir of her life in Sudan before and during genocide).Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-19902736861431260472008-09-18T22:58:00.000-07:002008-09-18T22:58:00.000-07:00This was a great post!

I've been asked why I prefer book blogger reviews to newspaper or magazine ones and I couldn't put the words together to explain it but you said it perfectly!<BR/><BR/>A month ago I read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee for the first time and I couldn't put it down! I read it while cooking, while eating, while in the bathroom and pretty much all day long.<BR/><BR/>callista83 AT cogeco DOT caCallistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04013633281843747712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-88756585389073665132008-09-18T14:34:00.000-07:002008-09-18T14:34:00.000-07:00I just started and finished Coraline yesterday.

I think that is a great testament to a book.<BR/><BR/>The most recent books I couldn't put down were "The Adoration of Jenna Fox" about a young girl's struggle to come to terms with her parents' fateful decision. I also couldn't put down "Bloodsucking Fiends" because Moore's dark humor kept me on my toes.Serenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-89756739901138374142008-09-18T12:34:00.000-07:002008-09-18T12:34:00.000-07:00Due to Hurricane Ike, I have been without power since Saturday. Luckily, I had stocked up on books from our school library. The two that I couldn't put down this week were City of Ember - read because of the upcoming movie and reccommended by a blogger, and The Silent Boy - read just because I saw it in our library and thought it looked interesting - had it read in about 3 hours yesterday...absolutely loved it!Shelly Burnshttp://www.writeforareader.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-10999145527106904342008-09-18T12:28:00.000-07:002008-09-18T12:28:00.000-07:00Wow, now THAT is a ringing endorsement of book bloggers if I ever heard one!

It's been a few months. Dare I admit--I think it might have been Meyer's Twilight (I spent a weekend reading the first three books); I wasn't crazy about them, but the first two had me absolutely glued to the chair. I really hate having to admit that those were my last refuse-to-put-down books. I'm currently rereading Deerskin, which I usually devour in two or three sittings... Can you count that as my answer instead?Jenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07832420356107544084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-71002014888899240302008-09-18T11:07:00.000-07:002008-09-18T11:07:00.000-07:00I couldn't put down "Falling Under" by Danielle Younge-Ullman.
