April Total = 4
Year-to-Date Total = 11
While I didn’t LOVE any of these, my pick of the month is When You Reach Me.
Book Club
Bel Canto, by Ann Patchett; Meeting – 4/15/2010
We had an interesting discussion of Bel Canto. I really loved this book. But not everyone saw it that way. In fact, many people thought the entire book was ruined by the epilogue.
Coming up next month: The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
Challenges
I finished a Newbery winner and a Printz winner this month! Check out my Challenges page for updates anytime.
Reading Deliberately – 2/12 [ends 12/31/2010]
The Pulitzer Project – 9/84
The Printz Project – 6/11 (+4 Honor books)
The Newberry Project – 19/89 (+7 Honor books)
Monthly Highlights
- I participated in Library Loot for the first time in almost a year!
- The Pulitzer winners were announced. The winner for fiction was a bit of a surprise.

I loved Bel Canto. There aren’t many books with a translator as a protagonist and I really enjoy this one. Bel Canto is the first book I read by Ann Patchett and I really liked what she did with it.
