A Few More of "The Things We Love"

Christine Suhling loves:

I Am The Dog
Jacob is the boy.

Max is the dog.

Until they decide to change places.

Now Jacob gets to eat kibble, chase squirrels, and snooze, just like a real dog. Max brushes his teeth, goes to school, and plays video games, just like a real boy. The question is: Who has the better deal?

Story maestro Daniel Pinkwater collaborates once again with the gifted illustrator Jack E. Davis for a boy-and-dog escapade that's sure to set tails a-wagging.

Marti Stewart can't stop talking about:

Exley

The bestselling author of An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England returns with another wry and insightful novel about truth and reality, this time featuring the alternating voices of a confused young boy and his slightly unstable therapist.

Heather Duncan wants to recommend:

Chronic City

Heather says:

"Lethem, the author of some of my favorite books (As She Climbed Across The Table, The Fortress of Solitude) has written another classic tale of mixed-up people in a mixed-up world. Set in Manhattan, in a time not too distant, a unique friendship is played out against the backdrop of a very public, ver tragic romance. An intricate, mysterious fantasy!"

Fannie's Last Supper

Heather says:

"A culinary adventure story like no other! I wish I could have been there for the 12 course Christmas feast Kimball created. The book opened up the world of the Victorian Era to me in a whole new way."
