I read some really great books this year, so I thought I'd compile a list of my favorites. I love getting and gifting books for the holiday. They're thoughtful and don't take up much space. If not books, then Amazon cards to buy them (my "wish list" is pretty long).
So, without further ado: my "five star" books of the year.
Kid Edition
Sugar and Ice by Kate Messner
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin
Teen Edition
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen
