I was looking over my reading list for last year (see sidebar) and realized one thing. Lots of YA, but where are the adult books? Sure, February, March and April are full of them because I was in school, but after that…they sort of disappeared. Oops.

So, I started off this year by reading an adult novel–The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. It’s an Oprah Book Club pick and though it’s short, it’s powerful. I think Barrie said she didn’t like it, but I thought it told a great story.

Over the holiday break, I read dozens of small MG novels–too many to list on the blogger sidebar. Has anyone read anything from the Animal Ark series from Scholastic? Very cute and a great way to show kids how to care and love animals. I also reread several horsey MG novels that I loved when I was a kid (Pony Pals and Pony Tails) and found them still lovable and inspiring to horsey authors.

What are you reading now? I’m on the lookout for my next adult read. Suggestions?
