  1. Have you read or would you recommend any of those? I'm looking for a good YA before Double Vision hits the bookshelves.

  2. The only one I've read is Liesl & Po in the middle readers (it's good). Otherwise, I'm surprised how few authors I even recognize. Maybe that's a good thing? :-)

    I'm reading the Edgar nominees; some good ones in there if you're looking for something new and fun...
