The most interesting book on this list is Little Bee. Our heroine's voice captivates and intrigues us through her unique story telling. This is a novel that stays with you as you go about your everyday chores, creeping into your consciousness whenever it can.

January books
There's no better excuse for spending the whole day with nothing but a novel and a cup of coffee than a snow storm. After spending a wonderful game-playing day with my cousins to celebrate the New Year, a nor'easter rolled in. Fortunately, I picked up a novel to take me on a thrilling adventure through Italy, Dan Brown's Inferno.

Take two...
New year, new start. Like countless others, I find January to be the perfect time to make changes to routines and embark on new challenges. But starting too many new projects at one time often backfires.
Last year I joined a 52 books in 52 weeks challenge, started this blog, made curriculum changes, and began to implement the organizational techniques in Getting Things Done by attacking my home office with a Brother label maker, all while maintaining my umpteen other responsibilities. I realized in the third week of January that I needed to make some choices. Curriculum changes were necessary, organization improved steadily, devoting more time to reading books of my own choosing lifted my spirits, the blog was cut.
So this is Chapters...take two.
