Hate That Cat

Sharon Creech

­My 9-year-old daughter loves the story of Jack, who hates cats and poetry. I love that this novel is filled with figurative language and poetic devices as Jack learns to write the kinds of poetry he loves—scattered on the page in the style of e.e. cummings.

American Wife

Curtis Sittenfeld

­This fictionalized account of Laura Bush’s life is can’t-put-it- down-delicous. Sittenfeld’s narrative is fascinating, convincing, and most importantly—smart. Luckily, I snagged the last one at B&N and read it in a single weekend. It’s currently making the rounds of friends, want to borrow it next?
