Wierd combination- I know, but I'm currently re-reading Persepolis: the story of a childhood, Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel autobiography, in preparation for a Book Thieves teen book discussion. We're going to watch the movie and discuss the book to film.

And for my own pleasure- I've started the Luxe series by Anna Godbersen- my daughter read them and liked them and I've been intrigued by the covers- OH! to have lived in the Victorian era and been filthy rich to boot!

I finally read Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie- I'd been meaning to for over a year now as I had heard from all kinds of readers that they had loved it. I enjoyed it, too. I thought the way the author dealt with and communicated the plight of modern-day American Indians living on reservations was realistic and I championed Junior's hard work to break the mold. I also loved the drawings of Ellen Forney.
